Kinda tough to use it without the fuel meter and about a hundred other parts as well.
Put it on Ebay FI stuff usually brings crazy prices.
I'd say you could probably get $1000-1500 for it if thats all you have. Find the rest of it in the parts collection and you will get considerably more.

no fuel pump/metering assembly. so it is just a couple of castings: the plenum, air horn and adapter manifold. can never run as it is now....
what's he going to do with the stuff?

I'm not sure if there are anymore items for F.I. the only other vette stuff he has are matching valve covers which I haven't seen yet.My guess is he wants to sell it.

Thanks for posting such good photos. It appears your your co-worker's parts are from several different units.
The "233" adapter manifold (baseplate) is from a 1961 Corvette. The plenum (doghouse) was originally used on a 1958 - '59 Corvette or passenger car 4800 or 7300 series injection, and the air meter is probably from a '59 7300 series FI. That thing sticking out from the venturi cone on a stud looks homemade to me.
This collection of parts is worth about $1,000 to an FI dealer who needs the parts. It might sell for more to a fish... er, I mean FI pilgrim... in an eBay auction. I get phone calls pretty regularly from eBay auction "winners" who are absolutely and hopelessly into an FI system for much more than it is worth to an informed buyer.
