Anyone have experience w/ Crane Corvette purchasing used/restored carbs? I need a dated Holley 4055-1, he has some advertised that would match my build date, want to see if others have been this route w/ success. Thanks!

Thanks Dick, i did read some of the forum commentary re: Crane, was not sure if opinions expressed applied to used/restored parts as well as new parts, seems it's all the above.Comment

Pete:
David Crane has supplied many Corvette owners with good parts without issues. He has also had problems with some.
If he has the part you want/need, I would call him and buy it. Just be cautious in your dealings. Use a credit card or postal money order and get a firm ship date and tracking number. Pickup at a Corvette show would probably be the best, but this may no be possible for both of you.
I have purchased from him, but only at the big shows.....this way I can see and inspect the part(s). But others had purchased via mail order with success.

The carbs are new carbs that generally have some subtle difference to the originals.
Worse is their stamps are easily detected by those that have a eye for engine pads too. Usually excessively crooked numbers, and the you have to watch, never on Sunday
