I've rebuilt several and it takes quite a bit of time to clean, repair, refinish and set up properly, plus the cost of replacement parts if you want it done right. If your housing has a wear groove in the cross shaft or the bushings need replaced and line bored, that all adds up. For the quality of his work, I don't think Lars was making any money with the amount of time he spent.

Sorry guys I received this email from him last year. I'm glad he doing it again. He did a hell of a job on mine!
Hi Lars
Thanks for your response. Sad to hear you aren't doing distributors anymore. You did a great job on my Corvette distributor.

Thank you for your inquiry into my rebuilding services. As of June 1 2015, I am no longer accepting carbs or distributors for rebuild. If there is anything else I can do to assist, please contact me.

I'm not referring to Lars, I am referring to TI Speciality! Lars is exceptional and more than fair on price, actually underpriced in my opinion! TI speciality is about $100.00 per hour and it adds up quick. Im not saying he doesn't do good work, especially on TI units, but it is pricey!
