I don’t even need a pair of these but at that price I’m with you guys! I went to Holly.com and it says these are not available online. What’s the secret into ordering them right now? Thank you

427 Dart,
If you have the 600 with a screw in the secondary linkage...why not just the pair of 660's? I think I remember you originally set up the front carb as a vacuum secondary to help with cruise...but the faster you opened up the rear barrels the more your engine liked it if I remember correctly. So I assume that's the direction your headed by buying a new pair of the 660's?

Looks like I'm a day late on this one--the site just says online sales not available. :(

Will the center squirt design allow removal of the choke horn? And also possible to add secondary metering block/transfer tube conversion to this particular model?

Thanks
You cam mill choke horn off, see pic. below, the bracket is just holds the air filter stud.

The front 600,which is now like a 650 with the larger 1 11/16 throttle plate, gives a much better part throttle A/F ratio.
This due to the fact a 660,even if you work in more secondary delay,is going to have excess accel. pump fuel puddling in the closed secondary.

On my front 650 I reshaped the accel pump cam to give slightly more squirt until the secondary link starts opening and then it picks up.
Works REALLY well in quick 2nd gear throttle punch but use the throttle a bit slower in mid RPM 3rd or 4th gear accel.

I called Holley and definitely sold out! I asked why the clearance sale and they said there’s just no demand.
I suppose you’ll be seeing them on eBay soon.

I can say from experience that the holley 750 track warrior carb makes a great tunnel ram carb with little modifications. I bought a pair and once i changed the IFR from about .036 to .028 they work really good. Also being sideways allows me to pull the float bowls and tune without removing a carb.
