Dear Ed:

If the units perform as new the price is not unreasonable given that a worn out carburetor causes premature motor wear.

However, that is a big IF. For example, years ago somebody found a brand new Stromberg EE-23 in a warehouse. They put it on their 34 Su8 and the performance change was so tremendous they thought the old carb was junk.

If you don't have a carburetor for your car there are other carburetors that will fit. I think one is the Zenith BB1. They are not easy to find either, but I would do some serious checking around before committing to the replica DL 51. If they are good then people should be raving about them.
