Spare a sterling?

I know this is the wrong section, but having no luck in the classifieds (must be because of their high demand). My carb needs a rebuild bad and I can't wait 10+ weeks to send mine off to sterling and I don't want to waste the time/money to rebuild it myself only to have it rebuilt again. I would go Holley or DCO(e) but they are too spendy.
So does anybody have one they want to part with?

Is it possible to tell if it is a sterling just by looking at it?

Resalability has been a selling factor I have mentioned several times in the past about our carbs. But lately I have had a few people asking me installation instructions and details about Sterling Nikkis they have gotten second, and even third hand.
Carl and I hadn't actually catalogued all the carbs we did, so it's difficult to track who has ended up with whose carb.
But we'll be numbering all of them in the future. This will give us a background on the carb when we get an email sometime in the future regarding it, no matter who owns it. We'll be able to tell when it was made, what specs it was made to, what racing class it might've been prepped for, and what special modifications may have been requested for it.

lol, I can understand that! I was doing a 2.3t swap in my ranger, never got the wiring right, I used to think the mazda had something to do with it, but I later came to the conclusion that it was just the weed.
