Dude, they're worth at least $50 in working condition. When Sterling and Carl first started, that's what they were giving as discounts for extra Nikkis. I paid $140 Canadian for a Nikki and a K&N. So that's like $75 for the nikki (about $50 US).

If you want one that *runs* you're not gonna get it for $20. A pick-a-part might give you one for that, but no guarantees on it running.

PM Carl or Sterling, you might be able to work out something where you could just wire them the extra $50 and they'll find a used carb to rebuild for you. Or maybe make the $50 as a deposit, which you get back on the condition that you ship them your old one when you get the new one.

Either way, I'm sure you'll find one if you put a few more bucks forward. And you should message Carl or Sterling, they're really awesome guys who probably have plenty of suggestions on how to proceed

(of *course* I'm not biased by the wonderful service I'm getting from Carl ... now why would you think that? )

I have one. Ran good when it was taken off the car about 2 or 3 years ago. It's just sitting around in my basement taking up space. Thinking about putting it on Ebay.....

Still bolted to the intake manifold too.

i know there worth like at least $50 or so. I was mostly just asking if someone had one laying around that they never use. If someone has one that i sure to work, ill pay like $50. Im just real low on money cause i still gotta get puel pump, regulater and gauge after the money for the sterling carb.

Thanks for the help guys
