Carburetor question

[Elwoodandnadine]

How much does a non refurbished carburetor cost?
One that will need to be rebuilt, but is otherwise complete

Thanx in advance

Depends on who has it and what it is for.

If you are looking for a good used and serviceable carburetor to replace one of the two carburetors on your engine, it also needs to be a match in model year and internal configuration features, if at all possible. There were changes and modifications that took place over the years. Many of them are described in the attached DELCO ROCHESTER - Models H, HV Carburetor Service Guide.

If you want a pair of good, used carburetors to rebuild, the Corvair Ranch may be able to help you to match your model year and engine with a good pair that are equal to or of a later design that will be the best available match for your engine's needs.

I would suggest contacting the Corvair Ranch to see if they can provide you with a good used carburetor that would be a match to the one carburetor you want to keep in service.

The Corvair Ranch may be able to help you in your used parts search. They can probably answer your questions about fitment and parts interchange.

They should be able to meet your needs for used but serviceable Corvair parts.

Getting pricier every year. Used to buy rebuildable carbs for $5 at a swap meet but those days are long gone. Per others, there are many different ones, no point in buying the wrong one. Start with Bob Helt's book to know what you are looking at.

Count on ~$50 each for cores: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203648885884

Carb rebuild kits are $30 each now (two or four required for a Corvair) so if you aren't sure what you're doing, it makes sense to look at professionally rebuilt units, here's a rare pair of '61s for $329-$100 if you have cores: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294055299072
