Jeff's #7 statement about the greenish tag is referring to a carb picture found on the internet, NOT the O.P.'s carburetor tag~ This carb (tag) would conceivably be from a non-thermactor application, therefore mentioning the incorrect tag clarifies that the correct tag would be brass, not greenish.
Sorry missed that the pictures were of two different carbs and from different sources
Otherwise, would that particular image be a good representation of what the OP should be looking to correct on his carburetor?
Most of the pictures I have of Holley carbs are either original (so the finishes are weak or missing) or NOS (which will have some variations with the originals being service parts.
travnemi's carb looks like its been "cleaned" or stripped removing most or all of the dirchromate finishes and black oxzide ones. Fuel filter is easier to replace with a new one rather than replating, removing any markings and adding (one of the few times where a clear decal is original ) the correct C7 decal to it.
Not sure if he wants to spend the money to send it out for everything to get recolored - especially since little is seen once the air cleaner is in place. His choose.
I think the fuel filter, the teflon tape and the choke cover is a prefect first step where ever he chooses to go after that.
If I recall correctly the choke cover has a
GT visible on the cover once installed - going from memory but it is covered in the TSB that introduced the Holley
CHECKED - I remember incorrectly. The GT cover was a detail associated with the 68 428CJ Holley carb
