Anyone else had experience with the company "Carb Junky's" in the Atlanta metro area?

I used them for my 76, they did good work. The previous owner had damaged the idle adjustment needle valves and who knew what else, so I sent it to them to get a good baseline. I go it back, bolted it on and have run it for the last 2 years w/o a problem.

$200 (199.99) for a complete overhaul- (they run it on a 350 before giving it back) I'd use them again.

If you are into a restoration quality rebuild, there are places you can send it off to, for a little extra cost that'll send it back all replated (like new) with all replated hardware, in addition to a complete rebuild and bench test. Few places do this because the original style cad plating isn't something easily duplicated. If you are doing a restoration it might be something to consider. Otherwise you'll probably get it back just glass beaded, or, gulp, spray painted gold.
