A little off subject but it's been brought up in this thread. In regards to restamped blocks I'm finding it intersting that it doesn't seem to be much of an issue whether a block is a re-stamped or actually the original.

Maybe someone can explain why an original stamped carburetor or distributor sells for good money but restamps are a dime a dozen?

What are folks doing with these OEM carburetors and distributors? I always assumed it was to make an original car correct.... Maybe I'm missing something??

Ram Air V carburetors bring in probably the biggest dough of them all.... I could easily build a different model carburetor that would outperform an original dated RAV carb in everyway, look identical and stamp the correct numbers for about half the going rate. If their are any takers send me a PM. Same goes for Ram Air and Super Duty Q-jets.
