Thanks.? by the way this is why he never drives the new yorker around it will never start. >:(
I did not know that they ever came with Holley carbs. To anwser your question yes it will fit with no problems. You could go buy a new Edlebrock it is made from the Carter AFB design. If you do end up needing to do somethig to the linkage there are all kind of kits for this and they are cheap.

My uncle had a '69 300 that he bought new with a 440 and a Holley carburetor. Ran terribly from day one. He had a Carter carb installed and the car started and ran much better afterwards. It was a simple conversion and the intake didn't need to be changed.
Thanks for the input. Also I was told today that when it gets fixed he wants to sell the car(New Yorker) would anyone of you out there be intrerested in it? Before he puts it up for sale.? Let me know it is in incredible shape. I would love to have it, but have no more inside room for it.
