Opportunity to buy....good deal?

I saw a post about parts for sale off a 88 Formula 305 TPI. It included all the EFI, distributor, MAF sensor, bellows, air box. Price. $125 bucks. Seem like a good deal?

Sure, if it is indeed all complete and functional, and you want a TPI setup. I'd ask the seller to ohm the injectors and report their findings. If one is bad, you should replace them all and that will drive up the cost to get it running significantly.

I honestly don't care about the TPI. I'm interested in the bellows, air box, etc. Those are hard to find these days since they get thrown out.
