Default How much for a carb?

Im not sure if this is in the right section but I was wondering how much a used Holley 750 goes for? I have a friend getting rid of one but it doesnt have any thing with it I.E. no air cleaner stud, etc.

depends on a few things. Vacuum secondarys or double pumper? what shape is it in? Usually a good figure is about 50-60% of what it costs new if in great shape.

I payed 50 bucks for one that I got from a friend of ours. It worked perfect. We just bolted it on and took off, well with some adjustment of course.

Both awesome deals, so yes they are out there. Just be careful as sometimes those low $ means a complete rebuild is necessary.

I see what you mean for sure. I bought a dominator from some guy that we know for a really good price. Now that we got the car running with a decent tune it still doesn't run quite right. It does look like a rebuild is necessary.

Baking powder? 1/2 mile 5 second car? I'm guessing you meant 1/8-mile, and not a bad deal.
