How do I tell what type of Holley I have?

How do I tell what type of Holley I have? The previous owner couldn't remember if it was a 600 or 650 cfm Holley. Is their something that would give it away? Like a serial number.

The model # is etched on the side of the choke horn, between the primary and secondary barrel.

That Holley has been modded since it's missing the choke butterly. The model # should be etched on the secondary side of the plate that divides the primary and secondary venturi. It should be a 4 digit #, some models have a dash and a 5th digit.

If this is an RB modded carb, they most likely removed the model #. From what I can see in the pics, it appears to be a manual choke dual feed carb. If the carb has replaceable metering jets in the secondary block, it's a 4150 model. If the jets aren't replaceable in the secondary metering block, it a 4160.

The metering block is the thin piece between the main carb body and the float bowls.

Looks like you have a Holley Street Avengers series carb; 670 CFM with vaccum secondaries.

The black square with the Holley sticker is where the housing for the secondary diaphram is. I see the screw they inserted to help open up the secondaires with. That vaccum housing would be gone if the accelerator pump and pump cam rod is there to make it a Double pumper. It can be converted to a double pumper easily though.

Hey Latin. I would love to try an Edelbrock carb one of these days.
