Troy, I'm not the least surprised by the $3500 price for the Rochesters; they don't interchange with the Cadillac 2x4 setup or even with the 55 Caribbeans for that matter and obviously the supply has never been great. The last setup I saw for a 56 Carib was at Hershey 3 years ago, superbly restored. It included the manifold, both carbs which were from a 55 Carib but reworked by Daytona to 56 specs though they still had the external fuel bowl vent which was 55 only, a perfect batwing filter, and the fuel lines and linkage. As I recall the asking price was $5500 and it sold in an instant.
