Ya, Epay wont ship it to Hawaii ! Mahalo . CRather than goldbay, If you go direct to Jegs you may get it 25 cheaper. You'll likely need it for the filter……...

63SPF,
Perhaps you should go back to your Uncle to see if he still has the pieces he removed. Would save you a few $$.
To be brutally honest, the best thing your Uncle should have done was to leave it the way the factory designed it. There are just too many "experts" that think they know the "best" way to fix a non existent (but perceived) issue. It seems as if the day, when carb fundamentals were taught, they were absent that day.
Rather than fumbling and blindly proceeding, investigate several of the premier carb rebuilders mentioned on this forum. They have both the skills, parts, and experience to restore your items to origional appearance and functionality. My opinion: spend the $$$$ and have it done correctly by someone that knows how, even if it means sending back to the mainland.
Since you did not pay for the setup, spend the $$$$ to make it look correct and function like what you expect. My guess on the approximate cost to restore all stuff to like new appearance and functionality is: $1500-$2000 including shipping to/from the mainland.
BTW.....I've visited your state several times on vacation.... Maui, Kauai, the Big ISLAND.....MAGNIFICENT in all regards......I just wish I could afford to live there.....i'll be going back next year .... maybe to Kona??
Best of luck with your project....keep us informed.
Cheers,

Hi Bob,63SPF,
A few comments first.
IMHO....
1. Throw away all the fuel line pieces. Totally incorrect, fuel comes in from the ftont.
2. Some "expert" (??) Removed all of the center carb's choke linkage and parts, including the choke shaft and choke plate.
3. The same "expert", modified the linkage on the drivers side to mechanically open the end carbs simultaneously with the center carb....why?
4., Without totally dis-assembling the carbs individually, its difficult to determine if this "expert" modified any of the interal metering components.
5. Because the linkages have been bastardized, it is likely that the end carb diaphragms have been "modified" by the "expert".
6. Upon closer inspection and examination there may be other changes.
7. Are the carbs original (check the R numbers and build date codes) or they a different pieces and parts.
8. Are you making a tribute restoration or restoring a REAL V code car?
Rebuild kits are available from Holley, along with the replacement of the missing choke psrts. Standard motor products also sells excellent kits. Off brand rebuild kits use a modified fuel inlet adjustment arrangement. Depending on the degree of correctness you want or can afford, there are several very competent restorerers....not inexpensive though. How good a job can you afford?
First impression of your purchase: it looks as if everything went thru a **** storm. The Mopar six barrel/six pack is a thing of beauty and a joy forever (my feelings) and when set up correctly, it will perforn excellently (my opinion). Hopefully, the $$$$$ you spent on the purchase will be less than $$$$ it will take to refurbish the carbs back to their origional functionality and appearance. There is an old expression: CAVIET EMPTOR....let the buyer beware.... definitely applies here. Just my opinion of course.
PS ...I own an origional RS23VOA GTX with numbers matching setup.
Just my opinion of course.

Eric,Hi Bob,
I just acquired a 70 RR 440+6. So, I am new to "For B bodies only". My car had been sitting for at least 4 years (85 total miles since sometime in 2017). Any way when I manually open the throttle linkage (not running) to WOT the outboard carbs do not engage. On my linkage there is a nut & bolt into a curved flange (if that is what it is called) that should open the outboard carbs if tightened properly?? It isn't and has frozen (because of lack of use over time?). My question is to you and other interested/knowledgeable members is where would you recommend positioning the nut & bolt on the curved flange? I don't plan on racing the car (at least not yet) but would suspect that using all three carbs instead of just a 2 barrel 440 might be a bit more entertaining. Is there a recommended source to get an OEM style nut/bolt/washer arrangement? I called Holley who referred me to Daytona Parts who referred me to 6 Pack Performance who didn't answer the phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Eric Johnson

do those kits include the diaphragm rebuild parts?The current Holley kit for those carbs is 37-396, one kit per carb.
No, not in the kits but available under Holley 135-6 separately.do those kits include the diaphragm rebuild parts?
What is wrong with the setup you have on the car in your pictures? Doesn't the dual 4 barrels and the 6 pack perform pretty much the same?
I like both setups equally.
