Anyone know of a good shop to rebuild a quadrajet for a 78 L82?

Jim,
 
I just had mine restored @ a local shop.  http://www.stevescarb.com/services.htm
 
A restoration generally costs more than a rebuild as it involves plating.
 
Here's a couple of places that I have heard good things about.
 
 
 
Good luck,
 
Anthony

Our own Ken Styer has a couple of good articles on here if you want to take this on yourself. Alternatively, he has been known in the past to work them over, it just depends on his schedule at the time.


Click on "Ken's Projects". then "Quadrajet".
