Probably around $100 if it's in good condition, not missing any parts, and nothing is frozen. Could be worth significantly more if it's the right casting # for a high performance application. If someone took a Pontiac Ram Air III or Ram Air IV carb and put it on the Chevelle, then you have a...

No, all automotive carbs. thanks

I will gain significant hp and torque and lose some weight by ditching a 2bbl for a 4bbl and decent dual plane aluminum intake. A Holley Truck Avenger is what I'll probably end up with. Basically a 4160 tweaked to allow for smooth running/better performance on uneven ground.

Thanks. It was a long day. Brought 5 saws, but used the 026 all day. Difficult cutting; we were deconstructing large snags on the banks of the Guadalupe that could have held a body, and everything was under tension, footing was lousy, snags were full of dirt, often cutting at eye level or...

Got the saws off the shelf and tuned. Headed to Kerrville, TX, to help search for bodies.

Fitting patch panels for the '72 Javelin 24 Hours of Lemons road racer.

I don't remember how I addressed the carb and flywheel issue. Crank seals are always a PITA for me to get out, but they go in easily enough. I usually check the owner's manual for Stihl recommendations on bar length. On the chain size, it likely has a spur sprocket, so you may just want to...

All mine are Q-jet or 1bbl.

Here are the AFB's that I have - 1. 8904S AFB 2. 9635S AFB Electric Choke 625 cfm 3. 9267S AFB 625 cfm 4. 9625 SA 625 cfm 5. 9637S Ford

I’ll have to see what I have when I get home. Thanks

Ok, so I spent the last few hours unboxing, Googling, tagging, re-boxing, etc. As expected, there was one carb that will allow me to recoup much (all?) of my cost - a 7028211 that's correct for a 1968 manual trans 396 or 427 in a Camaro, Chevelle, or Corvette. Ended up with about 45 carbs: -11...

So I was perusing FBMP this morning and saw and ad for a table full of carbs for $500. Owner is closing his shop and these were carbs that were removed from customer cars and tossed on the shelf. Most are in as-removed condition, but some are rebuilt. I got everything for $500 and he threw in 4...

A preservative layer of rust?
