just out of curiosity..what would be considered the 'holy grail'?? Hard to think of anything better..perhaps the NOS Hemi 302 motor that Al Maynard had..but thats just a small block...Any ideas??

For a Nova fan, I would say a 1969 L89 car with POP, window sticker and buildsheet....color doesn't matter, but red or black would be nice https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I guess I'd have to agree with Eric. The early March 65 3310 is one of the rarest and most valuable of all Holleys. The photos don't do it justice, but look at it and remember who I trusted with it's resto. Want it done right? Quick? Eric.

BTW, the carb is on the way back to you as of this morning, you should have it by the end of the week at the latest.

p.s. you should've seen the look on the guys face at the post office when I told him how much insurance to put on it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

...I hope you didn't send it through the post office...in this past summer they wrecked 2 carbs I bought - bent the ever-living crap out of them...it looked like they hit the box with a 5 pound hammer before leaving it at my house...then to get an insurance claim out of them - I'm still waiting...

Frederick;

I use USPS exclusively, and they have yet to cause me any serious grief, which is in stark contrast to FedEx, UPS, and DHL. All 3 of the latter carriers have damaged numerous items in transit on me, and USPS has only damaged one item, and that was minor.

OTOH, I did get scammed for a substantial amount on a USPS money order by a lowlife scumbag in AZ...I turned him in for mail fraud, did all the USPS paperwork (and there was a bunch of paperwork to do!), jumped through all their hoops, and today, almost 2 years later, nada. On that note, the "guarantee" that's printed on the back of a USPS MO "guaranteeing" reimbursement in the event the MO is lost or stolen is worth about as much as the ink it took to print it.

Sad thing is, there is no way I've found yet to 100% "idiot-proof" or "scumbag-proof" any sort of transaction or transport situation like this. You just have to take all the precautions you can, cross your fingers and take your chances.

In my job position, I get involved in all sorts of shipping damage claims. From small parts orders to several hundred HP industrial/fire pump packages.

Every carrier, and I mean every carrier damages shipments.

Most common reason for denying a claim?

"It wasn't packaged properly? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Eric packages his stuff REALLY well...and I can find that scumbag if you want me to... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Hey Bruce, you hold him and let Eric "package him REALLY well!!"

Tempting as that may be, I'm not quite ready to put myself in the hoosegow over this scumbag. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Kinda makes one long for the days when matters such as this were settled the old-fashioned way...out behind the woodshed for a good old-fashioned "attitude adjustment."
