RARE 60s 3BBL 3916-1S HOLLEY 3BBL CARBURETOR Baldwin Motion Performance, Yenko 427 L88 HEMI ZL1 95

Random info on the 950 3bbl

Holley designed the 3 barrel models in the early 60's in both a 950 and 1,050 CFM offering to meet the high airflow needs of high performance vehicles, including both NASCAR and drag racing applications.  These units apparently also found their way into select GM and Chrysler vehicles.  With the absence of a choke horn found on your typical carb, the unique choke design achieved its' goal, improving airflow through the venturi.  The 3 barrel models were eventually replaced by the Holley Dominator 4500 Series carbs after 1974.

The 3 barrel carb was a design paid for by Chrysler for Nascar use with the "new Hemi" (426). As with most of these "contract carbs", Chrysler had an exclusive for X amount of years then Holley was allowed to sell them to the public.

Specialty high performance dealers like Nicky Chevy, installed a lot of them. They sold cars like 427 Nova's etc. I remember mostly them using the 950cfm 3 barrels but the 3 barrels definitely got a lot of use on BB of the era.


I actually ran this carb on my 66 Coronet 383 4-speed back in the 70's, ran strong!

My brother ended up with it and he is asking me to sell it for him.
