If you just want to rebuild it do it yourself. It is very easy especially with YouTube. I just rebuilt both of my 67 cars carbs. Will do my 69 L71 next. It is fun to do also.

i have rebuilt a few in my time, but this one needs someone with the right equipment and skill. i know enough to know when to sublet it out.

car is a 64 coupe with 37445 miles. parked over 30 years in the back yard under a tarp. i call it my acorn project. it took a day to clean out all the acorns and mice nests. very surprisingly the frame is sold as a rock. no rot at all. car is totally seized up. going to go thru the whole thing.

Ahhh, gotcha. That carb needs to plated etc. I thought you were just putting a kit in it.

Eric at http://www.vintagemusclecarparts.com/ since it's a Holley.

As I've noted before, I was not pleased with a couple of things Phil did on two carbs, so don't anticipate using him again.

I also had Eric restore a 2818 Holley. He did an excellent job, looks and runs great.

Michael,

See this thread for the restoration of a 67 holley 3810

You can really do it yourself. Some restorers just put too much gold in the finish. The correct finish is just to bring the zinc parts to a bare finish, and not to zinc plate them, before the dip in dichromate.

Take a review of this board on carb plating. There are 12 other posts on my carb project.

Have fun,
