Default 57 fuel injection system value?

Any rough idea on a complete Rochester system with distributor stored for over 20 years with no other knowledge of condition?

Thanks

Not only is condition important, but completeness will be the most important factor. Next, the model of the FI unit is also of significance. There were 4 different FI units in the 57 model year: 7014360, 4520, 4800, 4960. Improvements were made to each successive model, with a 4800 (hydraulic cam) and 4960 (solid cam) being the most updated units.
If it was simply unbolted from the engine and set aside, that's one thing. But if parts have been removed and/or cannibalized over the years, that's not good for it's value. On the 57 units, some parts are just not available, and that would severely affect its value.
It could range from $1,000 to $10,000 in value.

Can you get more information and especially pictures------------the more detailed, the better.
