I think im gonna keep the dizzy. thanks though

does anybody know anything about these carbs? they have been rebuilt and are basically brand new.

Sat Mar 14, 2009 11:53 pm

the one on the right looks brand new the left one looks to be an OG one

get us a side pic of the bowl... that's where the carb info is..

I'm guessing 34pict3's

heres a picture of the side of the bowl:

its a 35PICT-3

There was a receipt for them both in the box also. They both are brand new he paid $209 each. for them are these good carbs?

Sun Mar 15, 2009 7:52 am

Yes sir!! Darn good carbs.

Sun Mar 15, 2009 10:37 am

how much are they worth now?

Sun Mar 15, 2009 11:06 am

I doubt they are worth much. The 34 Pict-3 was the carb used for several years before they switched to fuel injection. Its pretty common, but thats because it was pretty good. The carb on the car now is likely a 34 pict-3. Also the name Bocar on the side means that they are in fact new carbs, not origionals.

That DVDA distributor on the other hand is worth a decent chunk of change. They are reasonably rare, not reproduced, and one of the better factory distributors. If your car is running a 34 Pict-3 now (as I assume it is) you should be able to put that piece on there, and send me the SVDA distridutor you have on there. Ill take it off your hands for free. In all actuallity the DVDA is a bit more sought after, and both are MUCH better than the 009 that I have for stock carbs.

I have a couple of those distributors in the second picture from the last. how much are those runnin? Theres one already on the bug.

Sun Mar 15, 2009 12:33 pm

don't sell off all your spare parts... you'll be sorry you did :wink:

Sun Mar 15, 2009 3:20 pm

Im not Im just curious on how much they are worth.

Sun Mar 15, 2009 5:54 pm

all those parts.. I say you got a few hundered dollars worth

Sun Mar 15, 2009 11:52 pm

very nice!

so now I have to find another window crank. the one of the drivers side snapped in half. (my windows are really hard roll up or down) Do you know anyplace that sells them?

You may need to pull the door panels off and grease up the rollers & regulators, otherwise you may continue to break window cranks.
