    Geeze, even dual weber 48 IDA's don't cost that much. Gold is worth less per pound.

    I didnt figure the carbs would be worth
    that much.

    I was interested in them for display on my 60 hp. At that they are out of my league.

    Those are just stacks with leather caps on top. And the carbs are not stuck.

    The intake is made for those carbs. There is no spacers the intake has BELMONT casted into it at one end. you can see that in the picture. Does anyone know about belmont intakes?

    Wow! another holy grail set-up...the Winfields typically go for $250 to $350 a piece. That intake is something I've never seen. Either run a very rare set-up or as it has been said...cash out large! Very neat piece regardless.

    I may be wrong but that sure looks like a propane setup to me.There are some old propane carbs at work that look like those. I work on forkllifts for a living.

    I talked to Speedy Bill Smith today he said that the intake was made in Chicago. and they ran these intake carb set ups on Speed boats and midget cars. He didnt know the exact date of it but said he thought between 1937 to 1941 or 1946 to early 50s. And he thinks this type was on a midget car. Bill is a great man to talk to. he knows quite a bit of info and was very helpful.and didnt seem to mind talking to me and sharing some of his automotive history with a young guy.
