can you tell wich carb size?

Hi guys, just bought this car for the motor a 13b streetport by Atkins,Holley carb,Racing Beat intake with an adapter between the intake and block. I just got the motor running and it sure sounds more than a sreetport (still don't know how to post videos ) so maybe by finding the carb size will give me an idea of the motor port or if you know other way let me know. Thanks in advance [URL=http://img129.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000240wp5.jpg][/URL[URL=http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000245tu8.jpg][/URL

On the front of the air horn there are numbers for carb. If you look on Holley's site, those numbers will referance the carb info. http://www.holley.com/types/Double%20Pumpers.asp

If memory serves, all double-pumpers had the chokes and choke tower removed. I imagine you'll find a 650 or 465-cfm Holley 4160 when it's all said and done.

The fan is eating your fan shroud. It's probably finished by now.

Okay do us all a favor...no that is not a racingbeat holley carb...That carb is a double pumper carb anywhere inbetween 650-750...to put this issue to rest on the back side of the carb facing the driver side fender there is a list of serial numbers...post those number up here on the thread...and any one of us can look that number up on jegs, summit, or ebay...easy fix...

Teddy. I already found out that the carb is a 650 http://www.holley.com/0-4777C.asp .... now I'd like to know what motor I got .I called Atkins today and they said the #s are from 1999 and that they only keep records of 3 years. The previus owner told me that it was a 13B 6 port streetport but to me the way it sounds it could be more than a sreetport....now I need to figure out how to post a video

So, why not just freaking look? 4 bolts, 2 screws, 2 freeze plugs and some antifreeze will get you a good look at your intake ports. Slip a dental mirror into one and you can learn quite a bit. Have a look.

post the video on like image shack or photobucket.

just take it with a digital still camera. should do the trick. You say it "sounds like more than a SP".

How, like idle, or full out or what?
