Oops, I hit send before I mentioned that certain Holleys that are original to certain rare applications have gone through the ceiling, so this doesn't surprise me. I'm sure the seller is jazzed.
Anyway, I came back to this group for a second to see if anyone knows where I can find an instruction book or whatever for this breakout box:

CJ...
I'm guessing that, being 60 pins on the EEC-IV connector, this just lets you tap into whatever pin is assigned to what device according to your car's schematic diagram. They vary by vehicle.
The book "How to Understand, Service, and Modify Ford Fuel Injection & Electronic Engine Control" by Charles O. Probst, SAE provides a lot of insight as to how the EEC systems work, as well as gives diagrams for most of the cars in the book's specified range. Mine is the '88-93 version... I believe there was an older one, but I'm not sure there was a newer one. Most of the vehciles didn't change much between '93 and '95, and OBD-II (EEC-V) reared its ugly head around '96 in most Ford vehicles.
If there's a certain device you're looking to troubleshoot, or a certain car, I could probably scan the diagram page you need that will tell you what all of the pins do... but I recommend getting the book as it explains all of the operating ranges of the sensors as well.

You cannot buy stuff like this retail. It is numbered for that particular engine, and is prime material for concours restoration. 20 years ago, I remember Boss 429 carb cores going for 800 dollars.
Holley *has* re-issued certain muscle carbs, including the 428 Cobra Jet's 735. I don't know how close they are to original or if correct for concours. I *do* know that carb is required for Stock, Super Stock, and Factory Stock drag classes, so there is a demand outside of the concours venues for it. I'll be willing to bet that the 390-horse Vette carb is not going to be repro'd any time soon.

This currently belongs to a friend. My interest was whether it would work on my '97 CV. If not, then it is basically up for sale to whoever can use it.

V'ger opined in news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com:
Ever go to an estate auction?
People go temporarily insane at auctions
I used to go with my dad and it was nothing to see a 10 year old Frig go for close to what you would buy a new one.. with same features... for.
cars that would sell for considerably more than they would from a private seller ad , close to "lot" price.
The only GOOD time to go to a REAL Auction is when the weather is miserable. Then you get some good deals... otherwise every old hacked up painted 3 times pine cabinet pulls in hundreds of bucks.
Some things on Ebay are the same.
My kid used to go to Meijer and Walmart and buy new video games when they first came out then put them up on Ebay and make at least 15 %.

The '66 390-horse Vette carb *is* repro'd by Holley, but not the '67. One year difference, and 2500 bucks more.
I'm glad I'm not in this game.

Doubtful unless your '97 CV is EEC-IV. I'm about 98% sure that it's EEC-V instead. While there were 4.6L CVs with the EEC-IV, I think everything Ford was EEC-V by '97.
What's your friend looking to get out of it?

Unfortunately, I've no idea what it's worth. I'm kinda interested... I still work on the EEC-IV cars every now and then, even though I've sold all of mine. I guess it depends on the price.
Doing a couple minutes of research, there's an aftermarket one on Ebay for a little over $100. Not really worth it for me though, but I guess your friend could put it there and see what it'll sell for?

I own it now, so I may entertain offers before I Bay it. My CV is confirmed EECV.

It's worth about $25 to me. I know you can get more than that out of it, but if you're willing to let it go for that... let me know. I'll be checking this thread.
