hes asking $160 for the 2 carbs and a basic rebuild kit.

there are so many on e bay available i dont know why your going with this 4 barrel carb junk, youll waste so much gas and with tpi youll have better drivabilty, better mileage and a better power curve.

a 650 is perfect .. though a dlb pumper might be a little happy on gas ... i've rebuilt a holley 650 before once .. its hella fun

$160 for 2 carbs is a good deal

u can sell whichever udont want for $100

i saw buy it

make sure the choke works .. no choke = crank the car for 10 minutes before it starts

hehehe i got no choke on my 700cfm DP holley cuz its a drag carb, ill show you how fast its starts when its cold:cool: one quick flick of the ignition and its on, you just gotta hold your foot on the gas a tiny bit for 20 sec before it will idle on its own fine:D

i've got a holley 750 double pumper with no choke and it turns over first crank everytime as well... but i just have to sit there with the foot on the gas for a while before it warms up.


and talos yes it will. i have an electronic choke on my 71 chev. just make sure it works.

$160Cdn for one, maybe two working/ fresh holley DP is a pretty good price. If I had the $$ Id do it just to get more parts ;) . THe 650s are a little small for me though as I am finding out :( .
