YES! someday someone may want them for ncrs purposes or you might, they are rebuildable and someday in the future you may not be able to get a replacement m/c so you may need one to rebuild. my 2cents :cheers:

Original Delco with bleeder screws above the outlet ports are worth money. You should know that there are Delco aftermarket MC that didn't have the bleeders on them only the OEM cylinders did.

The '73 one should have bleeders(if original) and no bleeders on the '76(it should have the pads where bleeders would've been). Your '73 may be an AC Delco "service replacement unit".

It depends. If you have a dated midyear unit, especially '67(not sure if they even had dates on the midyear cars :lol: ), then they could be worth a couple of hundred to the right person. Also depends if it's the "509" manual brake one or the "546"(346?) power brake unit. I've sold two C3 bleeder ones and got $150 for each one(needing restored). :yesnod:

But if they are the 509 for manual or 346/546 for power they are worth keeping.

'72 was the last year for the bleeder screws.

Also, I have two of these, one with correct date codes in the attic and another on the car, both with bleeder screws.

Not true...on manual brake cars (like my '74) they had bleeder screws through at least '74. Check your NCRS manual or any original manual brake car.
