Anyways, you can still be able to salvage the sought after 13B 4 ports the REPU came with! These are staring to go for big bucks, mostly because they are good alternative to the 12A in the matters of simplicity and reability!

But.. If you can save a REPU, DO IT! They are getting scarse, and a top notch example should be worth quite a bit!

It was yellow... I don't recall how clean it was though... (it was before I was into rotarys, and I only noted it because the REPUs were rare then too)

IIRC... It was in Mira Mesa.

Will bolt into a FB with slight modifications.. The eason they are so sought after is the rarity, the advantage over the 12A in power, especially tourqe, simplicity, they are the only carbed 13B`s with 3mm apex (what the hell is plural for an apex?)

Some of them even have the R5 nitrited housings.

And last but not least, they can be ported, ALOT!
