    What is the current value of these 350 manual carbs? Rebuilt and as a core?

    About $150-200 as a core. I pd. $150 for the core Fred Catlin just redid for me. I'm supposed to be getting another for around $200. There was one on eBay that was listed several times starting at around $750 and wound up selling for around $175.

    Rebuilt I guess it depends on who did it & if re-plated, etc. but if someone reputable basically I'd say add whatever they charge onto the core.

    What's the date code? So far it seems they were made on the same days as Stage 1 carbs although fewer batches. There's only about 3 or 4 date codes I've seen.

    May be interested in it. Lmk.

    Are the Poe holes below or above the flaps on these? I’ll check the date code

    Should be below same as a Stage 1carb.

    So date code is 0900. Carb is an ac delco rebuild from the 80’s, however the top must have been replaced because the Poe holes are above the flaps. How does that affect the value?

    I'm assuming (& thought for sure I'd read it somewhere) they're supposed to be below or maybe that in general 4-sp. carbs were & so I assumed these were too. I haven't gotten mine back from Fred yet but I think he said he replaced my top so not sure if it was w/one w/holes below (I had it for about 10 min. at the Nationals until someone told me he could replate it & I handed it back to him).

    I think the tops are avail. now & then & so maybe affects the value a little but not much. I think the 0900 is the same date as the other one I'm supposed to be getting & is the latest date I've seen. I'm not getting crazy w/date codes on my car but is closest to/prob. correct for mine (05B).

    @Chris Lott has a few of these - I'll ask him to check the holes unless @Cliff R or @Rob Ross sees this & happens to know.
