67 GT350 Auto Carburetor

Hi Bo

Go to SAAC web site and email the guy in charge of the registry for 67.

It was the Holley. Not the cheap version either! it has the front and rear Lemans Bowls as they are referred to. I had 67 GT350 #165 Bought from original owner and that was on there from new. in 68 they changed on the GT350's to the Autolite while the GT500's retained Holleys.

 

I own #1790 (67 GT350) an Automatic Trans with Factory A/C car & the original carb to mine is an Autolite. I'm not saying all Automatic cars ended up with an Autolite carb in 67 but mine definitely received one. David

 

See, already we have "it depends". Meaning, it depended on the car's equipment. I have see the auto cars come either way.
BUT, I do not recall ever seeing a dashpot on the Holleys

 

My 67 GT350 #165 came factory stock with the Holley with Front and Rear LeMans Bowls Automatic Transmission and Air Conditioning. I would say best bet is contacting Dave Matthews who is the 67 Shelby Registrar to settle this one!!

 

You'd think something as big as a 67 GT 350 carb wouldn't be open to such debate. Every car I've ever seen has a Holley on it but that doesn't mean they came with one. You 67 guys got to get more on top of it, us 68 guys are splitting hairs over things like what date did cars change over from Marchal to Lucas

 

Hi guys

Can anybody tell me what difference it makes for the carb
if you have manual or automatic transmission??
Why didn`t they just use one for both transmissions?

Thank you very much
Bye Jerry

 

already did the 68 thing! I only kept my 67 GT350 for a few weeks as it was ROUGH! but in retrospect should have kept it around. enjoying tinkering with the 67 GT500 and the way Values have shot up, I do not see myself affording another anytime soon. unless I sold this one...

 

Kickdown linkage, emissions, torque range to name a few

 

Funny, I did the 67 thing and I too in retrospect should have kept them around too. Mine were 500's so I don't know about the 350 carb thing. I did have a 65 hipo that had the Autolite though

 

my 68 GT500 was #1428 produced on Jan. 1st 1968 with Marchal Fog lights. For the Record!

 

I've documented a car built March 1 with Marchals but none after that. What I always wondered about those 68 Autolite 350's is would Ford still honor the recall if you brought it back to the dealer today?

Just wanted to add my two cents to the " What carburetor came on 1967
GT350 Shelbys with automatic transmission" question. I purchased a brand new ( read: original owner ) 1967 Shelby GT350 #1111 in April of 1967 from
Richardson Ford in Albuquerque, NM. It was equipped with a Holley 715
carburetor with LeMans bowls. Every 1967 Shelby GT350 with automatic I
have ever seen has been equipped the same way. Pehaps a few came with the Autolite when there was a shortage of Holley's at the factory. I do know mine came equipped with the Holley. In fact, I still have the main jets from
that Holley. Had to change them ( go smaller ) due to the altitude at
Albuquerque: 5353' above sea level.

small block autos used autolites(hipo with manual choke) fake carbs have been done and a way to tell is the hole for the auto choke.

 

Darr,
It's about time, you posted over here....

Chalk up another one with the Holly 715. This is a black plate, original, 67 350, automatic and AC. 68,000 original miles, the smog pump even works. I did a cosmetic restoration on this puppy about 6 years ago and do maintenance periodically. It should be at the Mustang Birthday Bash in Marietta, Ga on April 17.
