Head and carb

[Charlie]

I have been offered a group A head and carb, are they worth while and how can I tell that they are.

Grp a carb bin it. Just fettle a standard carb.

The head, I would expect to see receipts for work etc, and if possible a standard head to compare parts/ports mmmmm port and cheese (sorry off topic)

If its a 'real' group 'a' ie one of the carbs fitted to the r11 rally cars then nice bit of kit and worth ££££, chances are though its tuner rubbish and best destined for the nearest bin...big brass Venturi is the giveaway...

Just remember when you buy renault parts, don't buy the added bullsh1t.. 99% of the time when someone sells you something using group a-b-c-d it's because they don't know what they have, chances are its standard and your gonna get ripped..

Don't forget a working head can still be fu(ked and so can some carbs, water connections corroded away, one beauty was painted inside and out:confused:

Don't believe people that tell you the heads been pressure tested without proof, I can tell you I pressure tested my d1ck, doesn't mean it's true..

Have your clever head on when you look again..

Cheers, thanks for the advice I will keep that in mind.

Happy new year to everyone.:D
