What's it worth?

I'm doing a swap to an LSx and selling off a 4bbl quadrajet off of a 305. It has been rebuilt within the last 500 miles. How much do you guys think I should ask for it? Or is it just a paper weight?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask. If so mods, please move or delete.

Depends on the local market, but usually anywhere from $40 to $100. Or atleast that is what they can go for around me. Depends on the condition they are in and the model.

Re: What's it worth?

I should know the model considering it was just rebuilt, but I can't for the life of me remember. I'll look at it and post up.

Re: What's it worth?

one of the best ways is to compare what you have to what similar ones are going for on ebay. That can get you a good ballpark figure on what to ask. Your local classifieds would also be a good place to start selling.

Re: What's it worth?

Yea, one of the dead giveaways is if your looking at the carb on the car from the front on the left you'll see a little blue connector for the mixture control soleniod. Non computer controlled carbs don't have it. There is also a throttle position sensor connector on the right front of it, its a 3 wire connector.

It is in fact a CCC.

Re: What's it worth?

Some people pay more for a rebuilt one. Some people only trust rebuilds they do themselves, would end up redoing it, and only pay the same as a non-rebuilt one. Price could go anywhere. "40-100" sounds about right to me.

'CCC' is actually the term GM used - its 'computer command control'. You're useless GM trivia for the day
