Kind of on a whim, threw an offer for $100...probably should have checked here, first, but didn't really think the seller would go for it. Guess we will see if it was a mistake or not.

Here it is, fwiw

Hard to go too wrong if it's all there & rebuildable. Good luck. I like your style!

Shipping for 35$ from Hong Kong is amazing.
Do you have the original 79 intake on your car? Not sure if this carb works on that intake despite what the seller claims, and if it does you may want to swap it for one from an earlier year for performance reasons. Keep us posted on your progress.

I have a single plane intake waiting to go in.

Yeah, $135 shipped seemed like a good deal...will definitely keep y'all updated.

Looks like a Chinese copy of a Weber. Good price

I've seen some of the previous discussions and it gave me some confidence. The consensus seems to be that these copies are pretty decent.
