Holley has a restoration shop at the factory (Check there web site). I had them do my Holley off my 67 SB. Have not used it yet, however they still make parts for the old Holley Carbs.

Also check these people www.customrebuiltcarbs.com they did some work for me for another vette and have had others get carbs done there and all have been very satisfied with the finish and function. Carb can be rebuilt to street use or show, which ever you want and they flow test the carb and set to original specs. I bolted my carb back on and started the car with out needing an adjustment. Looked brand new, with proper color and finish also.

Both restorations were about $500.

Good Luck.
