try selling it here:
and try to find your local chapter too. they might have a swap meet in your area.
it would prob help you sell them if you did a through clean up on them. if you are mechanically inclined, completely disassemble them and carb spray them down, then re assemble them. it will give you a better idea of the condition of them, so you can tell the seller.
it is up to your discretion, but if they are clean, have good throttle shaft bushings and have no fire or water damage make sure that you tell the buyer that they are AS IS! you do not have a Porsche to tell him if they work or not, but they are good clean carbs.
just a little insight as i have sold a lot of used carbs to people, if you can't back up that they work, you sell them cheaper (let the price reflect that). that way if they don't work, you are at your own discretion as to a refund, be it partial or what ever. they are hard to tune, and they will not just bolt on and run on a Porsche. if they don't work and the buyer comes back to you, make sure it has been looked at by a prof shop and diag'ed as bad.
it sounds dickish, but i have been through it with Weber's, dellortos, and solexes. i have had the buyer bring then to me on a car and tuned them properly, they just didn't know what they are doing, proving that they were good!
BTW: if you disassemble them and clean them, turn the idle screws in all the way them back them out 2 1/2 turns. that is your base starting point. and be careful when removing the main jet/air jet stacks, if they stick, soak them in freeze off or similar to free them up. they are brass and will break off pretty easily if you torque on them hard
