IMG_2613.PNGIMG_2611.PNG Have a chance to purchase this setup, includes linkage and fuel bowl. What is a fair price?

66-3X2 442

If the linkage and fuel bowl are correct,figure $3-$3500.

classicmuscle442

Thanks for reply, price he is asking is very fair then, any idea how heavy this set up is. Have to ship it.

66-3X2 442

The best way is to ship the intake separate from the other parts.It's still going to be expensive but if the price is right,it won't matter. No need to build a wood crate,they can be shipped in heavy cardboard boxes,must be double boxed with a lot of padding.

Really appreciate the help, will seal the deal in the morning.

Make sure it has all the parts first.

74 pounds

But feels like 150 when you are trying to install it with the motor in the car...........

Verify the packing is done right or even done professionally. Not worth the risk of relying on johnny craigslister packing abilities. Nothing would suk more than receiving broken rare parts after the shipper has drop kicked it around through several states. Have it insured. Fastenal may be able to provide proper packing as well as shipping?

Thanks guys, not craigslist deal, fastenal reviews not great, putting in heavy duty storage tub from H D, packing intake separate. Weighted a Olds four barrel intake was 52 pounds. Wrapping intake in carpeting and plastic bag and using expanding foam. Carb's and misc in separate double lined box, and insured for three thousand thru USPS. Guy was selling parts that his dad had thru hemmings. Thanks for all the help.

Hmmm. I have read so many stories about USPS losing packages and not even being able to track them to see where they went missing. Personally, I have had USPS not be able to tell me where a package was during transit even though I paid for tracking.

I would consider using FedEx. I use them exclusively with no problems. Most USPS carriers are women,no harm meant but they can't handle large heavy packages. FedEx is cheaper than UPS and I bet they are as cheap as the USPS.

RandyS

FEDEX would be the cheapest by far.

classicmuscle442

Will check out fed-ex, have had good luck shipping with USPS but nothing this heavy. Had moldings get damaged and USPS paid off for full amount but had to show pictures of before and after damage.

RandyS

You can purchase insurance thru FEDEX also.

IMG_2655.JPG Received tri-carb set-up, guy did not remove carbs as requested, center carb choke pull off busted. Carb numbers are two 7029683 and 7031575 center carb. No linkage or fuel bowl/lines as promised. Wife said I am to trusting, apparently she's right, rats.

how did you pay?

always use paypal..if they refuse, well theres a problem to start...and if they short or stick ya..you have recourse

..too much money not to have a back up...i always pay the paypal fees on my end if its big money..its cheap insurance for me, and they get all of theirs..and they usually cooperate..if they freak out because of the paypal its a huge red flag

cant tell you how many deals ive lost because they refuse paypal..but i still have my money and i sleep well at night..

If those numbers are the casting numbers,they are not the carb tag numbers. The carb tags were 7026055-front,7026056-center & 7026057-rear. Where are the pictures of the fuel bowl and the rest of the linkage/parts?

OOPs,sorry I didn't see the post about the parts being missing.

Maybe there is a CO member that lives close to where the seller lives and will pay him a "visit".

classicmuscle442

Got the intake all disassembled, two broken bolts in the exhaust crossover blockers from previous owner. Used some heat and rust buster to remove blockers and there in good shape. Will have to drill out the two broken bolts but shouldn't be a problem. Will need to locate carb linkage, fuel lines and air cleaners. Would anyone know a good carb re builder/re finisher for the three carb's? Did see the three metal fuel bowl metal tags for sale on feebay.

66-3X2 442

I sell a lot of 66 tri carb parts. I have the complete linkage kit,complete fuel line kits,air cleaners,the special tri carb bellcrank for the firewall mechanism & I also sell the carb bases if those are not salvageable.. I can also restore/rebuild the carbs. Here's a link to one of my eBay items and you can search the rest of my parts by looking under my other items for sale. DO NOT buy from me off eBay,I can sell it to you @ a discount.
