    So I found this in an old shed along with a bunch of Model A parts. I believe its off a 29'-30' chevy?? Can anyone clarify? Also anyone know what these go for?

    '29-'31, actually. Sorry to say, they don't go for much. The only way I was able to sell mine was to braze two downdraft carb risers to it. Also, yours has a non-Chevy carb adapted to it; if it had an original Carter in rebuildable condition, it'd be worth a few bucks, but........

    Am I seeing that right? Is that a carb mounted on one of the "dual" exhaust outlets???

    Yea its pretty funky but thats exactly how it is. The intake and Exhaust are seprate but "together" if that makes any sense haha

    Hmm...So thats an "up-draft" type carb? I have a '30 chevy sitting in the back yard and the carb is on top of the intake, like how a 216/235 motor is. Also the intake is very "squarish/blockish". Of course mine could have been changed from stock in the past 81 years?!?!?

    If it's still got the original style engine in it, someone replaced the updraft setup with a '32 or newer downdraft intake.
