Thank Ford for that 4150 and the Dominator.


The 1950’s saw the introduction of the Holley Model 4150™ 4-barrel on the 1957 T-bird. It was the beginning of the modular Holley 4-barrel as we know it today. It was the first true performance carburetor and became standard equipment on many high performance automobiles. The 1960’s were huge for the hot rod industry, and Holley, as the Model 4150™ became original equipment on the baddest factory muscle cars ever to come out of Detroit. It powered cars like the popular Z28 Camaros, Big Block Chevelles, Boss Mustangs and Shelby Cobras to name a few. This era also saw the introduction of the awesome Holley three deuce multi carb set-ups on 427 (Tri Power) Corvettes and 440 (Six Pack) Mopars. If it was a serious car it had to have a Holley. An American icon was also born in the ‘60s as the Holley Double Pumper® rolled off the line. The world famous Holley Dominator® also made its debut in 1968, developed specifically for NASCAR® racing.


68 NASCAR, yep you bet correct, it was a Ford FE TP that the Dominator sat on top of. Your welcome

I did not know that. The first time I saw Holley Dominators was drag racing & thought they started there.

I can check off that I learned something today.
