    best repo carb rebuilder for 3/2s

    I need the cosmetics done on the carbs for my 427/435.

    I have done carbs up the ying yang but I remember seeing a picture of 3/2s that was beautiful.

    I see this as another hunt.

    I'm getting worn out looking for correct nuts & bolts for the rest of the car. I know that some carb hardware on mine needs to be replaced and or replated so I want to send it to someone that has all the hardware to make it look new again.

    They are a easy rebuild but to make them like new is my goal.

    Who is the man that does the best job restoring these to original?

      I've had EXCELLENT results with All American Carb. in Jacksonville. I first met them at NCRS Kissimmee about 4 or 5 yrs ago and liked the way the finish on their carbs looked. He said that he carefully balances the plating process in his tank with old and new chemicals mixed to give it consistency. They look much more original than the ones I sent to Holley's in house shop about 5 or 6 yrs ago that were too gold, presumably from very fresh chemicals, and Holley replaced all the original hardware with later model stuff, like hex head bolts on the float bowls. Anyway, All American has done several tri power sets for me now and a couple of 4 barrels for my 2 4 barrel cars. ( to admit here that I have anything with 2 4 barrel Holleys from the factory)

      The other thing about All American is that they're very fast with turnaround.

          I just sent Eric a set of 67 Tri-Powers. He's the only one I trust with my carbs. He is the best in the business.

            You might try Bob Kunz @ 314-845-2566. Last I heard, he was semi-retired.

                Dom,

                Whoever does it for you, I recommend they replace the floats also. Just went through a nightmare on a L71 lately because the "old" brass float in the center carb had a microscopic crack in it. It took a while for it to worsen, and drove us crazy trying to figure out a flooding problem.

                The carbs were restored/rebuilt by a very knowledgeable rebuilder here in FL. He did a great job, but it just goes to show there is still a chance the inevitable can happen.
