Default Re: ZL1 correct carburetor
When discussing ZL-1 Camaro carbs "correct" and "how they were built" are different.

Perhaps due to the ducted hood air cleaner interfering with the rear pump on the #4296 many if not all were built with the L72/L78 #4346 carb. Fred Gibb stated this in an interview many years ago and photos of the #3 Berger ZL-1 confirm it. The #1 ZL-1 flunked Tech at the Phoenix AHRA meet because the AMA specs listed the #4296 and the car still had the OE carb.

Which carb should a properly restored ZL-1 Camaro have? You decide.
