Carbs

For the 69 ZL-1, NHRA lists the Holley R-4296A. Holley lists the R-4296 as an 850 double pumper. Shows a 0.025 primary squirter and a 0.035 secondary squirter, and a 4150 series, with metering blocks front and rear. Shows it to have 1.750 throttle blades and 1.562 venturis. Same carb is listed for the 69 L-88.

The ZL-1 is rated at 445HP by NHRA, and the L-88 at 440HP.

I will say I've seen several carbs for sale listed as L-88 and ZL-1 carbs that ARE vacuum secondary.

Supposedly at least some of the ZL-1 cars were delivered with the R-4346A carb that came of the L-72 427-425HP cars, and the carbs had to be swapped before they could race.
