I have a collection of slightly used 750 carburetors for sale..
Dan; I did too, sold most of them or used them for "parts". I did keep my high dollar 750DP from one of the "top" carb builders in the country,(you know, the one that all but ruined a brand new motor), it's primary job for the last 10 years has been a large,expensive paper weight and conversation piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! live and learn, I learned the hard,expensive way!!!!!!!!!!

My present 600 DP was taken out of a garbage can at a freind's shop,(it is at least 20 years old) he threw it away,said it was no good on his 289.....I took it for parts, once I tore it down, all it needed was a good cleaning and the proper jets..........He had it jetted about 10 jet sizes too rich, guess he thought bigger was better.......

My next best carb was a 600 vac. sec. carb, remanufactered by Holley, bought at Auto Zone............great little carb and gave excellent gas mileage, still have that one.........
