Holley 4160 Carb Help

Almost done with the repairs on the truck but want to verify this carb is ready to go. As noted in my build thread there was something wrong with just about everything with this motor during teardown but it was running and hopefully it will again. Have fixed all the problems along the way so I'm crossing my fingers!

Heres what I got. Holley 4160 carb. I broke it down and rebuilt it using pictures I took of the teardown as reference as well as the schematic in the holley (yes I used the official one!) rebuild kit. Now, the issue is I'm not sure it was built right in the first place (see above note about problems during teardown). I also may very well make myself like an idiot but I'm new to these and have no idea if the choke system is even on it. o.0 Hopefully someone can verify if this thing is/was built right.







Vacuum lines I am not to sure of. I know one was hooked into the vacuum advance on the distributor. The largest leads to the PCV valve. Is that all that is needed? Have numerous others plugged.

In addition, out of the intake they had this T system set up for vacuum lines.
Upper Left is plugged with a screw.
Lower left leads to what looks like a vacuum pod on the passenger side firewall.
Upper right goes to the brake booster.
Lower Right is capped off with god knows what.
Out of the top looks like it leads down to the transmission.



That all sound correct?

Thanks!
