I spent over $300 to get a pair rebuilt, and expect they will still run well after 4 years, so if everything was done right you should have a good deal there. If the engine they came off of is similar to yours, you may get away without a lot of re-tuning. |

Sounds like a good deal. They generally go for 400 and up for a good set.

Beware the 'good deal', BC if it sounds too good to be true........it normally is. If you can pick them up...by all means.....if its a pay now ship after.....caveat emptor (sp?)

Not a member on here. evilbay.
Good point about the tuning. I was actually wanting to rebuild them just so that I could understand each component's function in better detail. Really love the analog stuff in a world of computers... Anyway, I think I'm going to take my chances. I've noticed though that ICT single barrels without a choke are a little cheaper and might work for my application (moderate performance/daily driver). Anyone using those on his/her teener? Sound nice and simple... |

I would go with dual Webers 40s.
I saw a thread on here not too long ago about inferior bargain Webers (you should check it out). If I were you, I would buy from someone here...I think you'd be better off in the long run. |
