    You may want to post your question in the technical section. Not everyone will see it in the new member thread. If selling post in the parts for sale section. Have patience, someone will chime in...good luck.

    edsrod, :Welcome: to the site from Colorado.

    As for your carbs, I am sorry to give you this info but they vary in value as builder carbs. If the venturie rod ports in the base are worn out (shafts has orbital movement) they aren't worth anything unless you can find someone that needs them for parts. If they are tight and will not suck air then you might get between $45 and $75 apiece for them if somebody is in need of them for a restoration project. They are not that scarce and not really in to much demand. The cost of rebuilding them limits the core value. The fact that Holman and Moody used them doesn't factor in to the value, as they used several parts in their builds which most of were purchased parts. What creates the value is if someone needs them because they are restoring a H&M car that had them on it. Hope this helps.
