Default Carb question

Does anybody know why it cost $ 80 for a 4175 carb rebuid kit when it cost about $30 bucks for the other models? These prices are based on Jegs and Summit, although Jegs did not carry the rebuild kit for the 4175.I also tried looking at Zip's but their rebuild kits for Holleys don't go by the part #. Can someone let me know of another place to order from?

Thanks

holley has a strange pricing policy,if you buy small number of items from holley they charge a lot more than for a large order of the same item and the spread bores are not very popular so i would think that even summit does not order a large number of these kits. also it may be a trick which are very expensive. a rebuild kit is #37-1537 and the trick kit is # 37-933 :chevy
