427 Holley w/old style fuel bowls

Anyone know of a source for new or rebuilt Holleys with the old style center pivot floats? I think they're called "cathedral style" or something like that. They're shaped differently than the current Holley style center pivot float bowls.

I bought a new Holley 715 cfm carb 5 years ago from Holley for my 66 GT350, but can't seem to find a similar carb now. Any ideas?

Doug ,

Try "Carls ford parts" he has some old stuff and some Holley reproduction carbs. I think Jack at "Jacks ford parts "also may have old parts.

Thanks for the leads, but they're dead ends. Still looking...

Doug....The carbs you seek are Holley 780's with vacuum secondaries and Lemans Float Bowls. They come up on e-bay from time to time but over the last few months the same person was buying them all. I don't remember his screen name but I figured he was trying to corner the market. The Ford number is a C5AF9510-BE for 1965 and BV I think for 66. The cores usually sell for around $350 and ones that have been completely gone through they want a fortune for. Holley made the Lemans Bowls which would fit any Holley under part number 34-14 but I have not had any luck finding them either. One source you might try is Mike Ulrey @ 727-772-5834. He had some for sale last year in Tulsa at Mid America. If you locate any good info please e-mail me as I would like one also some day. I wish they would release them again as they did the 715CFM one years ago for the small block people.
