Not sure what your describing with the words "hose barb". That carb should have a long fuel filter screwed into the drivers side front fuel bowl with a end that allows for a very short flexible rubber hose to be connected

Generic Holley picture





Also how much  time difference  is acceptable  between  carb build  date and car build date

Maybe what would normally be the date spread would be easier. Since you have a Holley and it appears these were assembled in batches rather than all the different types being produced every day of the year the date gap may be longer than what you would find in other parts that were being made all the time

With that said - looking at other examples I found 2-5 month though I would guess it might be as close as a month in some cases . Just the records I have available at the moment

Sure you have read how to read the date code on a Holley in the article located in the sites Library

No Ford or other document is going to show everything or be correct all the time. ;)

IF they did we wouldn't need these forums    ::)

I am wondering also. This forum accepts picture easier then any I participate on.

Bo has it right, it's simple. There are a couple of methods to get pictures posted. I like to use .jpg pictures from files in my computer. At the bottom of a new post, just like this one, is the method. It says "Attachments and other options". When you click the link, it will allow you to browse your computer for the picture. You "open" it, and the "Attach - " feature asks if you want to do more. It's a lot simpler than using another web site to store pictures.
