Does it have the barrel valve? You'll need a pump, mounting brackets, either a crank drive mandrell, or a cam drive unit, a 3-way shutoff valve, and then send the whole works off to get it flowed to match your motor. If the current owner has the info off his motor, including what pump he was using iand what it flowed, $1000 may not be a bad price.

I don't know if it has a barrel valve or not. The current owner bought it used and doesn't know much about it other than it was on a tractor puller called "Fire Dragon" lol. So it's probably a little more than I need, ha.

The conclusion I came to when looking at a used system was to price out ALL the costs to get it going on your car. Then compare to buying a new system all setup for your application. Most I looked at didn't save as much money as I had hoped, considering you have used rather than new stuff.
IMO, about 60% of new is about right. Otherwise buy the new system for a few hundred more. The parts add up fast, especially if you need to recalibrate. Talk to the distributor for parts costs, and calibration. For example the current pump from Ron's (durable black gear) is $485. If you buy a used one and it craps out, $$$.
True, maybe it's time to just look at a Dominator carb setup.
