Correct finish question!new carb.jpgnew carb 2.jpgIMG_1400.jpgDSC00065.jpg
Had my Holley carb rebuilt/restored by manufacturer several years ago (3rd photo). Just never seemed right from a performance perspective.
Recently sent to well known custom shop in NJ to be restored again. Received the carb yesterday and that started the debate.
The restored carb has the correct finish on the body etc. I questioned the finish/color of the fuel inlet fitting (2nd photo) and vent lever arm (top front bowl) (1st photo) they have a black anodized appearance, not the same finish as the rest of the carb.
The custom carb shop owner says that it is the correct original finish on that carb and he has that finish applied to those parts to be correct for NCRS purposes. I have used this shop in the past and have always received a great service/restoration.
I am questioning this finish based upon prior to any restoration of the car (4th photo) I took hundreds of photos and they support my thoughts.
He offered to send be the parts with the same finish as the body, but swears it would be incorrect.
Need some help on the debate. Just want it to be right.
Looked at other post and appears others have the black finish!
This is an early car #376
Thanks in advance
