any carb that has one ; As for the old Holley bug spray,s ?? LMAO i
have 2 carb,s here in various disaray ?
2 different version,s of the Bug Spray? Lott of people used these
carb,s back in the day . I remember them kind of ?? Up until people
started usin weber,s they were the deal for buggy,s . Would i buy
one use it ? Yeah if it was cheap, all the part,s were on it , and
in good workin order . 100 buck,s maybe 150 buck,s ? 50 buck,s would
be better tho ? I have no idea what the 2 are that i have but beware
a lott of these carb,s were highly modified for racin . There seem,s
also to be a growing trend ta restore old race car,s goin on .
Specially the old Baja 500 buggy,s that ran back in the 70,s ? Might
be that there,s some body out there would love too have a bug spray
carb too restore an old race buggy ? What the value of antique
carb,s are i have no idea and as far as performance goe,s these
carb,s are mentioned in How too Hot Rod your Volkswagen book . <<
Readily availiable in almost all the buggy shop,s . Excellent
reading . Book is close ta 30+ year,s old ? The basic,s are still
the same. Im proud owner of 2 book,s the same ? Only 1 of them is an
early print. Was told it,s like 25+ year,s old ? Few thing,s have
changed the innovator,s Gene Berg , Bernie Berghmann , quite a few
other,s figured out what worked what didnt ? Sean
