Default Jet Performance Carb.

Thinking about one of these rebuilt carbs for my 79. I have heard that these Jet carbs were the best ones to get. Not really anybody in the area to rebuild the one I have. Any feedback would be good. Thanks.

Sean Murphy Inductions has a good rep, but Lars, Cliff Ruggles and Henry Olsen would be my first choice... if I wasn't rebuilding them myself now, that is.

I used Seam Murphy Induction...I went that route because I wanted some performance tweaks done to my Qjet. I'm very satisfied with their work. Cliff had a really, really long backlog when I inquired about thier services. A lot of forum members have used Lars. He is really good and has a long history of answering questions posted by forum members. He has helped me.
