If you are wanting a good cruizing carb, get an Edlebrock, it costs more the the price is far better in the long run. I have never had much luck out of the two Holleys I have owned (one was even brand new!!) I slapped an Edlebrock on there and have only adjusted it once.... after a year of having it on the car!!!! Like I said you get what you pay for. As for pricing I sold my first Holley (650 mechanical secondaries, manual choke) for $75 I priced it at that thinking I would have haggling room, the guy whipped out the cash and didn't ask anything but did it run when I pulled it off the car. My second one though I let go for a song to a very close friend, (750 dual line, vaccum secondaries, two years old when I sold it off the car for a year) $50, but you know how the buddy system is, I scratch your back you scratch mine.... he scratched mine alot so I didn't mind letting it go for cheap. Hope this helps. Josh Wounded 66SS396
