Well that is a Holley, but not the correct one. This is what the original set up looked like

That is a 69/70 universal carburetor for automatic which is designed for a different type throttle control and also a different automatic kick down rod. It obviously can be made to work but not the right carb from the factory.

Since he has only been around for less than a month maybe someone can post what the correct carb is.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

Reply #3 shows the correct carb. It is marked C8ZX 9510 A regardless of it auto or standard.

Mr Gaines is correct.

The Autolite carburetor was also used.

Just to add clarification, the Autolite carburetors that Coralsnake found that were used was on very early production GT500's.
