Holley glass bowl 2 bbl carb?

Simple question -

Did Holley produce any 2 bbl glass bowl carbs?

 

i believe so !

 

Does anyone have a # or what they were available on?

 

I cannot recall a 2 barrel Holley with glass bowl.

In fact, the only two barrel carb with glass bowl that comes to mind was a Hitachi used on a early to mid 1970's Datsun.

If a 2 barrel glassed bowled Holley exists, I would like to see pictures.

Vis-a-bowl!!!! model is 1904 and you could get a 1904 with a metal bowl as well, came factory on some ford and international pick ups. I'm sure other models as well. pretty cool lookin carbs

 

I believe there is a pic in the falcons done right thread, ill look to see if I can find it in the 60 odd pages

 

I worked on one that was in a 57 ford f100 that had a inline 6. really cool looking thats for sure.

 

I believe 1904's are single barrels.

 

Early model 1904 (1 barrel) Holleys had the glass bowl.

There's a dude here in town with three glass bowl Holleys on a Ford flathead six. Looks rad!

I thought they were single barrels, though?

 

Guys, I am pretty sure there were no glass bowl two barrel Holeys. I have thre one BBL's for the intake in my Econo P/U. It will look cool withe the aluminum valve cover and matching intake. There was a write up in a '61 Hot Rod where thetook a early Falcon and the dress up pkg and cam and kit. I believe it got pretty good performance.

 

The 1904 is 100% a 1 bbl carb. I had one on my Scout, until my Dad and I swapped the motor.

Rebuild kits are available but a bit tough to find. I can't remember where mine came from.

 

True that. I have five glass bowls and one with the metal bowl, all one -holers.

 

they exist... I think they look cool too. One thing I loved about the ol' 750 dbl'pumper I used to have was the glass side pugs and the float adj w/out removing carb...

Autozone carries the rebuild kits for about $20.

 

To the best of my knowledge they were only a single, not a two barrel. Had a 215-223 years ago and remember that if you were not real careful on a rebuild you could crack the bowl.

 

Yes I have the 1904 glass bowl 1 bbl carbs.

I have heard that they made 2 bbls too, but never seen one. Just wondered if there was any truth to it...

 

My brother and I ran four of the single throat glass bowls on a 322 Buick in our '34 sedan built in 1954. Worked very well on the street.

 

Straight linkage on all four? I wondered about running a couple on a flathead.

 

They are small, i have gathered a mess of them to run on a hemi but i just aquired a blower and am having 2nd thoughts. I have spoken with a noted carb builder and they have developed a fix for the 'leaking' bowl problem that these were famous for. The carbs go for bigbucks on ebay and i have no idea why.

 

Still not sure if people are talking about 1 bbl or 2 bbl carbs...

 

Supply and demand!

We get more calls from enthusiasts who plan to use them in quantity (2x1, 3x1, etc.) than from O.E. restorers. Many like the see through glass bowl. And there are many different for different size engines; thus a number of different internal venturi sizes.

Also, there is an unsubstantiated rumor that our government ordered the stoppage in production of glass bowls due to a fire hazzard around 1962. I keep hearing this, but have done a LOT of research and cannot find any truth to it. Anyway, Holley DID release a service replacement zinc alloy bowl for the early 1904's, and later 1904's came with the zinc alloy bowl. If anyone has documenting proof of the rumor, I would delight in having a copy for my records.

Most commercial rebuilders replaced the glass bowls with the zinc alloy ones once the zinc alloy were available; and tossed the glass bowls.

1952 Henry,

Yes, we had a log manifold with "equalizer tubes", but ran straight linkage.

 

Built many 1904 Holleys in the 70s and never saw a glass bowl 2 barrel.

 

I stand corrected. sorry for the misinformation.

 

yep, just like everybody else said.. just single bbl carbs.. I've got a pile of 'em..

oh and just wondering does anybody have float bowls like this?? I had 2, needed one more, now one broke so I need 2... and I had a hard time finding just one..

They're for the 1904's, but they have large raised HOLLEY lettering on the bowls.. sorry for hijacking, but if you've got one or a couple let me know!

thanks,
Bobby

 

got three on the shelf, but only one broken glass bowl.Need a couple if anyone has them layin around.

 

My local HAMB buddy "okiepete" has one and I have one, he would like to find one more for a three deuce on his 292 Chevy 6 for his '29 Roadster.

 

Will a single barrel Holley carb. with a glass bowl work on a flathead motor?

 

Yes. With the added advantage that you can cruise at WOT with out getting a speeding ticket.
