I'm sure someone will,I'll be watching that just for giggles to see how it goes for ya,good luck.
It would make a nice piece for a street rodder that want's something different,I could see that on a model A Ford hot rod sit'n on a 327,it would have a lot of cool factor over the typical highrise and 4 barrel carb.

So did you guys decide to sell the FI unit?
I've seen a few on ebay lately,not selling due to unrealistic prices but this one is polished and was bid up to $3550,didn't make the reserve and buy it now was an absurd $7500!
Anyway that pretty much seals the fact that yours should go for at least $3000 with the dizzy included.
If you put a buy it now of $3500 it will likely go,that out to put a big block in your car easy enough.

Oh, we're definitely going to sell it! We have no use for it so it has to go. I'll be taking more pictures this weekend, even found my dad's old vette valve covers. Crazy what you find in the basement of your parents house WOW! $7500? That is absurd! It would be nice if ours actually went that high We have a lot of parts to the f.i unit so my dad and I will be talking about the buyitnow price...maybe 3500? maybe 4500 or more? lol, we'll see.

NOS means New Old Stock, a brand new (never used) factory part, but it can be many many years old. OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer. Your FI is used, so it isn't NOS. A factory part, whether NOS or used, is considered OEM.

Nothing sad about knowing nothing about it, not a lot of people do. I'm heavy into Corvettes, mostly the C3's. But I haven't messed with the old FI units (C3's didn't come with FI like yours anyway). In the Vette, your unit was put on a 327. Make sure you check the numbers on it to make sure of what you're selling. The more info you can put in your ad, the better.

Thank you for the advice, I'll take a look at those websites and see what I can use! My father wants to make a nice crate and bolt everything down so it doesn't break during transit. I'll be posting it on eBay next Friday! Thanks again for all your help (Mr. 69 and Y2K).
