I'm trying to sell my two extra carbs to help fund my 73 GT restoration however, I have no idea what they could be.

If anyone wants ether of them before I put them on Ebay just shoot me a PM

Here is the Solex

Tip: If you need an accelerator pump diaprhagm for your Weber DGV ask for one for the Holley 5200 instead and they'll probably have it in stock. Again, appli. Chevette, Pinto, Vega, Mustang II, etc.

I can narrow the application down some by the process of elimination. Water choke pre '73 models. Vacuum secondary eliminates GT application.

Thanks a ton, I got the ID tag on the Solex cleaned off and it only says "3441 510 D" Google wasn't very helpful on that front though. I don't have anything close at hand to measure the venturis with but I assume they're both 32mm?

Solex carburetors are truly frustrating, did they even have model numbers?

It does indeed

Thanks to both of you, now I just need to grab something that has millimeters on it and I'll know exactly what CFM my Holley is.

Any thoughts on how much I should sell them for?

I did find reference to two different size Holley's but I still believe there were three sizes.

Don't worry about measuring the size you are looking for is cast into the primary and secondary side of the carb. Primary side '23' equals 235 CFM and primary side '26' equals 270 CFM both measured at 3" of Hg.
