Outboards are DC 4783 500 cfm mechanical. I was told the center carb was an original 6-Pack carb with the choke horn milled. The only numbers I can locate are probably just casting numbers, and are shown in the pics.
I am not a 6-Pack expert, these carbs came with an engine I bought. I was told these carbs were raced on a Weiand Super Stock intake in the 90's, and did quite well. That's about all I know about these. I don't have any other parts or pieces.

The butterflys all operate fine, I don't see anything obviously wrong, other than somebody dogged up the very first few threads on the inlet in the center carb. I included a pic of that. I have not done anything to them, but blow them off with carb cleaner and compressed air. I would call these cores needing a full rebuild.
I hardly ever see these for sale, so I am hoping somebody would be happy to have them. From my research they are a great setup, a lot of people seem to like the mechanical carbs much better.
I was hoping to hang onto to them, myself, but other projects are now demanding my attention.



$850 shipped in the lower 48.
Postal money order, Paypal F&F, or you add the fee. I have been around FBBO 8 and FABO for 17 years with many transactions, I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks for looking!

**UPDATE**
I found center carb numbers on the metering block, showing 4792.

That is not the number for the center carb. The number is found in back of the carb just like the outboards you posted.
 
Once the air horn is removed like this one is, any numbers are irrelevant. That 4792 is a 340 metering block for sure, but they only put the list number on the metering block on the later issue carbs, not the oem installations. An original 4792 metering block would only have the 6610 stamped on it. The center carb has the throttle shaft from the 4782 that goes with this set but it has the base, body and metering block from a later issue 4792 340 center carb. Look at the picture of the base on the center carb where someone had to grind out a space for clearance for the accelerator pump of the rear carb. The factory 4782 baseplate is machined better. The shape is more square. I have a set of three that I bought years ago on a old six pack. The biggest difference in the 4782 from all other oem six pack carbs is that there is no vacuum provision from the center carb to open the outboards. If you have a 4782 center, you can only run mechanical outboards.
 
If you post a picture of the passenger side of the center carb, I might be able to tell you more about the center carb number. I need to see if the main body was drilled from the factory for the vacuum tube or is it plugged up with some. It will be real close to where the vacuum tube comes out of the main metering block.
