NY Racing Beat Holley Carb and Intake

I am considering selling this setup off of a very well running 83 S. I am curious as to what this setup might be worth. I do not want to rip anyone off but I wouldn't want to give it away either. Thanks guys!

Just the carb retails for 700+ from RB new. The intake manifold is close to 300.

375 doesnt even buy the jets youll need to tune it.

Good point haha. Maybe half price from retail? Also have the high pressure fuel pump and alternative jets and the manual choke conversion kit as well.

You could get 150$ for the intake mani easily, but most people wont wanna give you much more than 300 for a trouble prone used holley.

Even if that thing is running right on that car, it could be a nightmare for its next owner. Ive sold many of them, they are hit and miss at best.

Thats the usual, for a pretty used set up. To exclude the air cleaner, fuel pump, and the brakets and all that.

500 used for everything in the kit is reasonable, if its in good shape.

Read what I said, fuckwad.

Before you want to sound like a smartass. The setup sold as a used "kit" goes for 500$ all day long. And 500$ is LOW for a sorted carb+intake+brackets+choke parts from the kit+OMP linkage+aircleaner and filter+fuel pump and fittings.




Sorry, but I hate cheap retard lowballers on the forums here who bitch and moan about how our cars arent worth anything and weeks later try to buy a 1k+ kit for 375$.

Who said anything about me trying to buy a kit for $375, or me bitching and moaning?

:douche: Damn, why isn't this thing working?!? I thought for sure the emoticon would work and clean out that sour uterus of yours.

You must be a blast to hang out with. I bet you don't take yourself too seriously or anything.

The OP asked a question and I posted a price based on what I've seen while perusing the "for sale" section. Seems most times used Holleys end up being a big pain for the next user and that shows in the sale price....although I'm sure they weren't "carb whisperers".
