'71 340 Thermo-quad

Has anyone been paying attention to the drastic increase in new carb prices? I try to get double pumper cores for $100 or cheaper, any condition. I ‘m afraid those days are about gone. I ordered some 750 DP baseplates, they back ordered them for 3 months, then when they called to ship them, they were $16 more expensive!B9A2BF49-883F-43B1-AC22-33D475276444.png
