Dual Carb Setup
Hello all -
I'm thinning out my parts in order to pay for the restoration expense of my 66. I have a dual carb setup that I think is for a Corvette, but would like help from some of the forum members who know about these setups making sure that I identify it correctly and provide any of the necessary serial numbers, etc. that a buyer would require
There is a post at my personal blog with large photos that will show some details -

I'm obviously looking to sell it so I'll consider any offers, but until it's correctly identified and I can research a fair price I can't even provide a starting point as far as what I'm looking to get for it.
Feel free to reply here so that anyone else can benefit from the information, as well as on the site. Thanks in advance.
*****Edit - I didn't inspect the carbs closely when I started this thread, but apparently they are dual SINGLE carbs, not dual 4 barrels as previously stated, so I've changed the title to reflect that. Sorry for my error, and thanks for the info!********

So does this setup look like something that is original to 1960-62 vettes? I can take whatever additional photos anyone requests in order to correctly identify them.

No,those carbs are single four carbs only,dual four carbs were different,What are the numbers on the right front of the bowls? and also the numbers on the rear corner of the tops,these will tell what they are.And how much are you asking?

Hi,
I'm not sure if you are confused or if it is just your wording.
These carburetors are quads (4 barrel carb). What they are not are dual quads. As others have stated, these were originally used in a single quad setup.
Using the 6-1672 casting number shown on one of the air horns and the locations of the chokes, they appear to be 1963 -1965 carbs. You can narrow it down further by looking at the casting number on the main body. If it is 0-1451, it was available on a '63 327/250HP. If it is 0-1465, it was available on a '64-65 327/250HP.
Going price on ebay for carbs in this shape is $50
