I agree, you are 100% correct.
The vette carbs are for some one wanting to keep their 1967 bowtie corvette completly original. The mopar carbs are no where near worth what these vettes are worth.
I just mentioned them on the very slim chance some one on here might have a vette or knew some one that had one needing some original carbs. In fact I think new reproduction tri powers are cheaper than what I want for my originals. I look at it like this. I was only selling them just to get them out of the garage and to prevent some one from stealing them. I have had some stuff come up missing lately so I figured it better to sell the stuff off as to have it stolen. But, My little wife cam to my rescue and said bring them in the house and put them in the closet for safe keeping. Now I know why I have kept her around for 38 years. Any how these vet carbs will fit any of the mopar 6 pk intakes and I am constantly fooling with the mopars so I just may throw them on an old 383 I have in storage. But more than likely i`m going to contact the big corvette club and have them send notice out to all their affiliate clubs to make mention of them to their members. These things are date coded for Jan and Feb of 1967. I challenge any one to find a similar set with that early of a date code. I `m also going to contact some of the larger restoration shops that specialize on the bowties. I have several options, but probably will just sit on them till winter sets in and I have more time to ride the internet.
You have a good day
