Holley 4150, 4160 Series
Carburetors
Holley four-barrel carburetors first appeared
on the Corvette in 1964. The 4160 used is an
end-inlet carburetor, while the 4150 carbu-
retors used have been both end and center-
inlet designs. The secondary metering body
on the 4150 carburetor is similar to the pri-
mary metering body. The 4160 secondary
metering body is a cast body and a plate at-
tached to the main body by six screws. The
center-inlet 4150 has been utilized on the
higher performance versions of the Corvette.
In 1971, the Holley carburetor has revised
calibration and a C.E.C. valve. Holley part
numbers are located on die carburetor air
horn.
CHOKE ADJUSTMENT
The early model 4150 uses a bi-metaUic choke
mounted on the carburetor. It is correctly set
when the cover scribe mark aligns with the
specified notch mark. The later model 4150
and 4160 employ a remotely located choke.
To adjust, disconnect the choke rod at die
choke lever and secure the choke lever closed.
Bend the rod so that when the rod is de-
pressed to the contact stop, the top is even
with the bottom of die hole in the choke le-
ver.
FLOAT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Position the car on a flat, level surface and
start the engine. Remove the sight plugs and
