Inherited Family Owned 1970 AAR - Limelight Build

[RUNCHARGER]

The windshield doesn't have a rubber gasket. It looks like it is stuck in there right now. Are all the trim clips around the perimeter to hold the trim on?

[anlauto]

It's an aftermarket windshield and it looks like someone didn't put new clips in place at the same time...that's unfortunate

 Very nice car. Please remember to replace the Fram oil filter and plastic fuel filter before running it. I've never liked the plastic fuel filters as they can fail and cause a catastrophe. The oil filter is another issue. It looks like it has been switched to electronic ignition. More reliable and less headache but an obvious change. Again, very nice car. Enjoy it.

Was wondering about the clips my self! The only thing that could make that car any better in my opinion, a rim blow steering wheel. That car is awesome, My complements!

What does the correct master cylinder look like? If it should have a round front then I have one for sale.

[anlauto]

Correct master cylinder would be the 'holy grail" 171 master (flat front)

Thank you all for the wealth of information.   Would it be difficult to swap back to the vacuum set up and carbs, or is it easier (for now) to find a center carb and rebuild the others and set it up the way it is set up now?

I am interested in the process and set up difficulty if I buy a set of 3, vacuum set up carbs?

[anlauto]

The center carb for the set-up you currently have would be different then the factory set-up. The fuel inlet is on the opposite side.
You would need to decide what your end goal is and proceed in that direction. If you want the car to be mostly original some day, then wasting money to get it running with the outboard carbs you have would be wasting money in my opinion.

If your end goal is not to worry about originality, then you can get a center carb that will work with your outboards, get them all rebuilt, make some custom fuel lines and linkage and away you go !

Years ago I did a customers car with a Beatty & Woods built 440 using the same carbs you have now, unfortunately I can't find a picture with the fuel lines and linkage in place but I remember it being a PITA...

[RUNCHARGER]

It would probably be more difficult to find a mathing Holley 4782 manual secondary carb to match those 2. Easiest would be to just buy the correct vacuum carbs, fuel lines and connector linkage. I did a search for new carbs but it doesn't look like they are available right now. Perhaps contact Holley and see if they are going to do a run of them.

[anlauto]

You mentioned you still have more parts coming from your Uncle, so maybe the original carbs are still around

Here are some pictures. This is the 171 master cylinder.
