Dans '70 Z20 Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Some say should be a Rochester Quadrajet. But I have also heard that Califoria built SS454's came with Holleys like the ones available on LS-6 cars. Anybody have any proof or knowledge of either? Thanks - Dan Quote
wallaby Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 No proof, just experience. I have had two SS454 cars, both CA emissions equipped. I had a '70 and '71, both with Q-jet. Quote
lastss Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 The only way to tell for sure is their a code on the protecto-plate that tells which carb was on it from factory. Quote
DaveC Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Dan, I'd bet on Rochesters Holleys didn't have the spread bore, and it seems that the factory intakes of the period that were none spread bore were also square port. Which was part of the LS-6 and L-78 packages. Unless, someone has one of the "elusive" LS-6 Monte Carlos I'd say no factory holley on any Monte Carlo. Quote
Dans '70 Z20 Posted December 14, 2003 Author Posted December 14, 2003 I have the protect-o-plate. Which number represents the carburetor the car was equipped with when delivered? And how do I know which number represents which carb. Dan Quote
Dans '70 Z20 Posted January 2, 2004 Author Posted January 2, 2004 Dave, The LS-6 Monte Carlos are not that elusive. I know a guy who knows of three with documentation in the country. 1- LS-6 4spd Bench Beige/Beige/Beige 9k 2- LS-6 4spd Bench Red /Blk /Blk 3- LS-6 4spd Bkts Blk Cherry/ Blk/ Blk Dan Quote

I would be greatly interested in seeing the documentation on these cars. Quote
Guest Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I as well would like to see this, and get permission to add the info to the SS page on the site. Quote
Dans '70 Z20 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Posted January 3, 2004 Just emailed name and phone # of this guy to Kevin Wiles (President). This way we don't have 100 people calling. I do not want to piss him off b/c he also sells GM Musle Car parts and I want to stay in good standing. We'll have Kevin look into it and let us know. Dan Quote
Guest Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 Just remember Kevin is pretty tight on time and may have me (Vice President) make the call Quote
Dans '70 Z20 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Posted January 3, 2004 Sorry Pete !! Forgot you were the VP or I would have forwarded it to you in the first place.... since you were part of discussion. Dan Quote
