Back in the 50s - Need Venturi/Throttle Size for Teapots May 29 2008 at 11:39 PM No score for this post		(Login werbyford) from IP address 69.181.93.148

I am looking for Primary & Secondary Venturi and Throttle Bore sizes for the Holley Teapots, the 2140 and also the 4000 carbs used 1953-1956 or so. Of course a CFM rating at 1.5" Hg or any other number would be great too but that might be even more obscure. My dad first brought me home a teapot to disassemble back in the mid-1960s, back then the cars that used them used to get wrecked Saturday nite at the Figure-8 races. Times sure change. I've searched the web but cannot find these dimensions, any help??

Wow, if you have one apart already - could you measure these for primary & secondary?

I'm also looking for the same measurements on the 2140 Teapot, I am guessing it is smaller than the 4000 but not sure.
thanks again
