I hate to say "money is not the object, because if it wasn't we would all be
driving Lambos, but if I have to rebuild the $300 Holley, rejet, new
metering block, etc., I could just about buy the Edelbrock new and bolt it
on. (and still sell the Holley which has maybe 500 miles on it, and has
never been dissassembled)
The pro-jection I saw in the paper was offered for sale for $150! Weren't
they about $1,000 new?
Would it be easy to get screwed on buying something like that used, not
knowing if it even works now?
I have made the mistake, like most, of buying the car that was "running when
I parked it"!
