This generally is a worthwhile operation for carbs - but who is going to do it for $55 bucks?

I do um and there is no way I could do one that cheep and make any money on the rebuild, let alone the labor involved, much less the parts, shipping etc.

I know other carb companies and they won't touch that operation for less than $125 labor plus parts.

Does the carb have holes in the butterflies?
This is almost imperitive if you have a bumpy idleing cam that has to idle above 1000 RPM. Otherwise the idle speed adjustment screw is open too far and that creates a draw on the boosters and your way rich. Then some guys try to adjust the rear throttle blade and get it too far open and then the transfer doesn't work correctly.

But converting your existing carb over is less expensive than buying a new one even if you have a Professional Carb Shop do it for you.

The guy I bought it from is going to do it. He already quoted me the price. I will have to pay the return shipping though but this place is in my same state though.
He's a guy on Ebay the rebuilds/sell Holley carbs. and he's really good too. Would you like to see the email he sent me that proves he'll do it for $55 plus return shipping? Not everyone out there is greedy! There are a few people still out there that do the work they do simply because they love the work they do.
Would you like the mans name? I wish there were more people like him that were not worried about just making a buck or two.
