Please excuse the mess of the car. It's a 68 Firebird. It was sitting outside for the past 10 years.
As you can see, the carb is leaking at a few points. I would like to install a rebuild kit or at least some new gaskets so I need to know what family of Holley carb this is.
From what I have found online it looks like it's from the 4160 family? But, it doesn't have vacuum secondaries. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I am a child of fuel injection and really don't know much about carbs so thanks in advance. I really only want to get it fixed so I can drive the car around a bit before I tear it apart for the pro-touring conversion. A fuel puddle on the intake manifold just doesn't seem safe to me.
On a side note, I got the car started for the first time in 7 years yesterday! Ran pretty well actually.
