What are your ambitions for the car? They might be sufficient to get around town, but for serious HP most engines use the Solex / Weber / Dellorto 40's. Of course it really depends on the "Combination".

Just sold a set of 34 solex carbs on ebay...went for a whopping $18 after a bidding war if that's any indication of value...unless of course you have manifolds and linkage already.

OK, thanx, that gives me sort of an idea to just get it on the road and then later switch to better as you mentioned.

Sorry I don't...actually it's the white one (75) with the 500 pound bumpers that I'm tinkering with now. The solex carbs were in a pile of extra parts. I have a set of 34 Weber ICTs with manifolds, linkage, etc, that eventually I'll be selling. I picked up a set of Weber 40s.

how much would you be asking for the 34's and its components?
