Any good place for used parts?

[lonewolf41]

Looking for a 4-barrel carb for my 4.3L engine (4.3GSPBY). Are there any good sources for used parts? Any good/large salvage yards maybe? I have tried the usual suspects (ebay/craigslist) with no luck.

TIA,
-Keith

Where's the old Carb? It could be rebuilt.

There really arent very many different carbs used on those motors...And 4 barrels on the 4.3 is not so common either. whatever carb you find will need to be jetted to the 4.3.

Old carb is 2 barrel. Looking to upgrade; otherwise would just rebuild.

Thanks.

Try search for mercruiser 4.3LX parts. I believe that is the four barrel carb version. Might be an option...Try to find the intake manifold to go with it as that will be just as hard to find.

heres an intake made for a Qjet. there's a bunch of qjets on ebay as well claiming to be for a 4.3.
