I have 2 ford script carbs in the attic.both have 94 in a circle one model # 91-99. the other is model 59 with U.S.A under the script. also 15 over 16 is stamped on it.. they are dirty and need to be boiled out. what years did they use these and what would they be worth.. thanks in advance

The 91-99 would be correct for 40 + 41. approx. $25 59 is correct for 46 to 48 pass and 46-47 truck / 48 truck used an 8BA type roughly same value as the first one. Buyer has to figure on a $10-$12 shipping on top of price. OMO ken ct.

Ken made an oversight regarding the 91-99, which was initially introduced for use on the '39 Ford and Mercury. Alan

I'll purchase the 91-99 for the above sum if your selling. $25 plus your shipping. Im assumeing its rebuildable and fairly complete. I have many 59's so don't need that one. ken ct. email or call cell 1-203-260-5945

Your right in a way. 91-99 did come out in 39 but was not produced by ford or holley. It is a rare bird made by "Chandler-Groves" and is so marked as such.This is pretty well known in the hobby by many. ken ct.

PS Allen C.G. 91-99's go for about double the price for cores when you can find them compared to the ford-holley ones.They are pretty rare. ken ct.

The fact of the matter is the Chandler Groves carburetor was REPLACED for the 1939 model year with a similar carburetor built by both Holley and Ford. While it certainly may be possible a number of C-G carburetors were installed upon very early 1939 Fords, the fact that the C-G was obsoleted for 1939 is non-refutable. And, by the way, as far as value goes... used 91-99 carburetors that appear to be very worthy of rebuilding typically fetch between $75 - $100 on eBay. Model 59 carbs typically bring about half of what a 91-99 carb fetches in similar condition. Hope this information helps and possibly clears up a common misconception.

Vatermac.ive been buying 91-99'S at swaps for 25 yrs and always buy at $10 -$30. Ebay prices are up in the clouds imo. People that pay $75 to $100 for them are fools. Cores don't command those prices. And I don't sell cores all that I sell are cores I rebuilds with all usa corn gas proof componants. Thank you ken ct.

Vatermac, Check around, last time I checked most rebuilders were charging more than $50 for a core charge for a 91-99. I think that the going price is more in line with Kube's estimate than Ken's. Tom
