Keith I got lucky on the 71 TA carb bought a carb I thought might be right and i was 20.00 at Charlotte swap meet. Those carbs are also over 1K. The Ram air Carbs are generally around 2K. Stuff is like the cobra jet mustang stuff big $, try to buy a shaker set up for a 70 stang! Lucky for you they made over 100K 79 TAs alone, keeps the price down, I think the tally from 77-81 easily tops 300K cars never mind the formulas and plain FBs. Mark

1100 doesnt seem like a bargin to me. But I guess if the numbers where correct it would be worth it. Well I hope you make out all right on this.

Keith The carb started out as something decent, probably just a plain old gto auto carb, it is an early poncho carb just not a rare one, probably a 250-300 carb if it still had it's orig numbers. So he had to be a bit more selective in picking out his fake material anyhow, it just became an expensive mistake I paid 1100 with shipping for it which would have been a bargin compaired to some, but 800 to much for what i got.

Crazy what people will do to make a buck. But any one who's going to pay big money is going to know the carb or what ever part there buying , What a dumb a** . He probably took it of some old cadilac and thinks he is making a mint.

Yeah they were a modified Q jet and Tom says there is definately evidence of it being restamped. Basically bull**** to pay really decent money for something advertised as the real thing. i have driven a couple dic brake cars and yeah they stop well, guess that is why everything went away from Drum. I have a couple of recourses with the carb. I filed an initial claim with paypal to resolve it and I did it through my CC so i can also call them and just cancel payment, then i will ask him to send the $ to mail his fake back or it can sit around at my house and wait on him because I am not paying to mail it back so he can scam someone else. Mark

So another words its just a standard rochester or carter re-stamped to have the date code? If so that is scr*wed up. It tookthe guy for ever to send it to , Probably because he haddent got done stamping it. I can tell you one thing about the disc brake cars they stop on a dime, and it takes some serious torque to do a brakes stand they dont bust loose like the drums. So what did the Judge's have for a Carb a big Q-Jet?

Keith I think the centers are the same and i think the axles are as well but not sure as I have not played with the disc cars enough. Post the question in both the suspension section and the 79 TA section and you will get a better answer as I am sure there is someone who has dealt with that. I am trying to deal with the great Carb fiasco right now, Tom looked at this expensive Carb that I got and it is a restamp. Mark

Holley's do suck, But some people love them, of course some people love th350 as well. There a guy in nh who has the posi diff and 3.23 gears for 370 bucks seems cheap enough, I believe the 10 bolts have the slide on bearings cant remeber though, Where there different spline axle for the disc rear's ? or where they all the same? Keith

Shipping should not be too bad, adds on here seem to do very well and prices are not too bad for stuff and your add is free so good deal all around. holleys suck, enough said, i got a bucket full of them. Yeah that old 301 was still going strong when i sold it. Mark

Well I put a add on looking for a 3.23 posi unti I have a had 3 offered so far. Need to look into shipping one isnt far its in western MAss. I am surprized that old 301 had 70k miles left in it. I took the holley of the 455 and put an edelbrock on that made a huge diffrence but its still not a barn stormer until 30 mph or so.
