What sort are you after?

Strombergs, SU's, Webers, Dellortos?

Take a look on Ebay [and the Trading Post] - complete setups appear from time to time.

Good luck - it took me a couple of years to find a set of triple Webers that were suitable for my red motor.

Cheers,

A red twin should be easy to locate as these were used on X2 cars - you see a manifold at every swap. The air cleaner is hard to find though. Complete setup is usually around $250 to $300.
Tripple setup for a red is quite rare on the other hand...
