    The stock replacement carb for the 69 429 4bbl was a Holley list number 1-131.
    The street performance is the Holley list number 3310. (model 4150/4160 780cfm vacuum secondaries)

    Holley lists the 1-131 as the stock replacement for all full size cars. It isn't the one that came from the factory - just the recommended stock replacement.
