Default Comments on Carbs from E-Bay

Hi Gilles


Prices on E-Bay for the carbs that fit the 261 and 235 Chevy engines vary all over the place, today's range $34.00 to $700.00 pretty wide range. When I was looking I just kept watching and found one for the 235 and one for the 261 within couple of days both listed as NOS for around $50 each.


When I got them yes they did appear to both be NOS, actually in original boxes. No scratches or burred screw heads. But neither worked quite right, I happened to have a 235 engine on the test stand at the time. I carefully disassembled them and matched the parts to parts sheet turned out both were missing a small ball check valve. Once those were installed from rebuild kit they both function perfectly. They have been in use on two of my trucks now for 5+ years.


I suspect they reason they were put back in the box and put on the shelf in some dealer was they didn't work right to begin with.


Cheers Phil
