Should I sell them ?
 
This weekend is a swap meet at the Gibralter Trade Center in Mt. Clemens. My brother called and asked if I wanted to sell the parts that were taken off/left over after the EFI conversion. Now I don't know if I should sell them or be that person who hangs onto parts "just in case" I want to change back, or if I buy another car. I have accumulated some parts over the years as things have changed on the car.

I have a Holley 770 street avenger carb, which has less than 400 miles on it, I have the power boost canister which was on the car for less than 6 months, a set of 4 original center caps and beauty rings, and lots of other odds and ends.

Do I save them, do I sell them ? How do you decide ?

I have no luck selling anything ,but if you can make a buck go for it .

Unless you have plans to return to a carb'd setup...SELL it.
Carbs depriciate quickly the longer they're left sitting on a shelf.
Center caps and rings value will depend on their condition...

Seems like parts are hard to sell these days around here for a reasonable price.

All this stuff is in like new condition. The center caps are in really nice condition. I am torn. Maybe the carb might be the one to get rid of, especially if they depreciate quickly. And it is easy to pick up a carb, just costly. lol

Go for it, like you said the carb is easy to replace. Use the money for your car.

I am considering buying a new steering wheel and taking off the Rosewood one I have, so that is a possibility.
