And I cant have a 350 LT1 motor combo in a 1970 NOVA...!!!

Not saying this happened but at that time AMC was using the Ford Autolite carbs like on the 429/460 maybee this 780 Holley appeared the same time frame as the Holley 780 for the 351 Cleveland's. Those cars used the Autolite 4100 and 4300 D was Fords version of a Q-Jet. Could this have happened?

Amen James! I'd love to put the LT-1 in mine as well.

429 CJ got Q-Jet, 429 SCJ got 780. Base 351 got Autolite, Boss 351 and 351 CJ got 780. Different manifolds and cams.

Base 429 used the Autolite carb. The 351-C NEVER used Holleys in production I have copy's of the 70, 71, and 72 all Boss 351 and 351 CJs used the Autolite 4300D

Ralph is correct. The Boss came with an autolite carb that is really expensive and somewhat hard too find. We need one to restore our boss. No holley on the 71-72 351 cars. However, we do get to use one in stock.

How many of the 4300D's do you need? I think i have about 4 or 5 still. Can supply them to you anyway you want. Email me Dee9275@yahoo.com

Duane, put them on Ebay, I was at the R.M. auction in Auburn last Saturday(no rain) and talk to a friend who was selling two Boss 302 and he told me that he paid just under 3k for his number matching carb, so you better make sell them at the right place and retire.lol On a side note, it's always nice to see passion being debated properly. Thanks guys. Claude

And for "Super Trick", I raced D/S last about 7 years ago. My ET's were 10.55-10.65 here in Arizona; never made it to a sea level track. And that was with a .457" cam, cast iron intake and 4300 Autolite. I'd suggest if you have a comparable D/S or D/SA car, you should be able to do better with 7 years in advancements. But I doubt it.

So 7 years years you spent a bunch of time,money and had a soft NHRA HP rating and ran fast? Boy don't hurt your arm patting your self on the back. Lets talk about what time and money (and low HP combos) cant buy, World championship, a race win. A couple things i don't here you talk about. There are plenty of people on here that post that have championships,race wins,records,# 1 qualifying you never here them talking about what they have done. Why? It's something called "CLASS". It's nice to think that some racers still have it.
