Thread: want to sell a carb, how do I know value?

Tweet

Hey guys, I want to sell the Rochester that I took off the 429 (don't need it, probably won't need it), I just know it says rochester quadrajet on the side. it has an autolite tag on the front with some numbers. would those tell me what it is so I can figure out how much to sell it for? the guy that we got the truck from said it was a cobrajet carburetor, but I don't see that on it anywhere. I also know that he said he put a larger set of jets in it. it was too rich for our 429 so we replaced with a Holley 770 (not setup yet)

Thanks all.

here is a link to a full on cj and scj restoration site. scroll down and try and find a picture match on the rochester section toward the bottom. I am sure they have part #s somewhere as well. Its an awsome cj and scj site.

Well I just quickly found the part # section, below is that link for that. They usually are not worth much, but if it is an original cj carb the right person will snatch it up for a larger dollar amount.
