Carb question

[peterpelley@eas]

I have a 75 chrysler 440 installed in a 60 dodge panel van. It has a carter tq and i purchased a holley 770 avenger for it .The bolt pattern is different , the holley holes are 1" wider than the manifold holes on the stock dome. Is there an adaptor plate available for this application?

It sounds like you're trying to put a 4150 style carb on a spread-bore intake. There are adapters out there, but be sure to do some quick measurements to make sure.

If I may, I'm curious as to why you are discarding the TQ for the Holley ?

The adapter will make the carb sit higher, which can cause other problems with air cleaner and/or shaker hood clearances.

You may have to use the TQ until you can find a 4160 intake manifold.

Was the shaker hood an option on a 1960 panel van?

There's nothing but room under that hood
