Idenity? 6-bbl

[mmissile]

I have this 6-bbl setup in my inventory of unused stuff. It is all new and NOS. There are no markings on the intake, it's aluminum, and I believe the carbs are 71 date-coded. The vacuum port and throttle cable brkt are a puzzle to me. I've had a couple people tell me it was a prototype intake/ 6bbl setup. I don't know.

The carbs look very nice but don't look NOS. They don't have the original factory ink stampings or decals from Holley. The intake may have been smoothed off and repainted. I used to do that in the 80's. I would even sandblast where I took markings off so the manifold would look uniform. You could contact Edelbrock about the intake.

This stuff was supposed to have been liberated fro ma-mopar.....many years ago. The carbs have never had fuel in them, it's been sitting on a shelf for nearly 20 years. I have zero use for it, and was wondering if there was any value. I got a bunch of 6bbl road runner stuff with a 69 road runner I bought. I sold the rest years ago, and forgot this was in a box.

They may not have had fuel but they were cleaned off for some reason. I'll get a pic of my NOS A-66 carbs and you will see what I mean. Is it worth anything? Of course it is. I'm sure you know that. How much? With todays market fluctuation it is what you are willing to take. I know the true NOS correct A-66 carbs are around $800 each. The bracket reminds me of a Ford 428 piece. It is not one, but it may be from another company that used the 3 carbs. I have owned a Ford Galaxy and Chevy Corvette with the three twos that are very close in design to my Mopar carbs.

BTW. I have a customer that is into the A-66 cars. He has a few. Send a PM with what you have and what you need to get for it and I will see if he is interested.

A-66? What does this set up have to do with A-66 cars? Nice set up btw...

 

[challenger6pak]

Nothing. I was working on some paperwork for an A-66 and typed it when I meant A-12. Sorry.

Knowing you from this forum I figured it had to have been a typo.
