How come a 38dgms carb for a 3.0 capri is £200 and one for a 2.0 pinto is £260

ask them?

they arent the cheapest I know, I think they get away with it because they have a whack of stuff in 1 place, where it would take a lot of looking to get it elsewhere.

but you pay for it

Err I mean 2 prices for the same carb

With Burtons I think it pays to ask for dicount. I was ordering airsocks off them and they cost a bit more than I expected. I queried the bloke on the phone and he lopped about 10% off. I can't remember the exact prices unfortunately. It might have been more actually.

Get the prices off the website too cos its out of date and they have to honour their advertised prices!

I have just visited burtons shop to pick up bits for race car, their prices are very good compared to DT and the advice and helpfulness of staff was brill, even showing me a modified catering van baffled sump so I can copy it

Did you remember to ask why their/they're/there(delete as applicable) 3.0 capri carb is cheaper than a 2.0 pinto one. Why not buy the 3.0 carb and rejet it with some jets from somewhere else? you might find it's dearer than the pinto then but you will have shown them. I think the real reason is supply and demand. Not many 3.0 Capris about these days but lots still run 2.0 Pinto.
