used webber or holley carb?$

im lookin for a webber carb for my rex, my nikki's floaters are shot, and i would send it to rx7carl and get it modded BUT its my only means of transportation so i can only have the carb off for the days that i have off work, wich is usally only 1 day out of the week... So i need to find a used webber or holley carb that i can bring to my tech and have it installed. If anyone can point me towards some good prices or knows anyone selling anything that would be great.

thanks guys

I've only had Holleys on my custom engines. You can get them "bolt on" ready from RB so they say. My guy still fiddled w/ them for awile before geting the car running right.

Car is back from Doctor! AWESOME Results.

Well as y`all prolly know, i broke my differntial on my 85 GS.
Took it to MazSport and got it fixed. They are AWESOME and incredible service

.
Anyways... After installing the rear end, of course, my carb went bad, or so we thought, had to replace the screens and my secondaries wern't kickin in properly. So we adjusted timing, fixed carb, tuned the carb, lubed tranny and rear end, got a LSD rear end now, and a HD Clutch, RB Headers, 2 1/2 inch straight pipe. And on the drive home i spanked a Civic SI with Headers and exhuast (wich is pretty darn fast for a civic) and i kept side to side with a v8 stang, looked to be a 1996, till we hit 4th gear and he past me good at 90 mph. All in all, its like a brand new car and i swear i hit 0-60 within 5 secs easily. And my compression is perfect they said. I am idling at 650 RPM. Even on a cold start it cranks within 2 secs or sooner. I have 99,965 miles on my rex now, and I'm the second owner.

Just thought id share my good news!

=) ill never own a piston as long as i live.
