Q-Jet Rebuilder
While hunting thru eBay listings, I happened across 2 rebuilders who claim to specialize in Rochesters, both rebuilds, kits and components. One is Mountain Man Fuel Systems out of Hackett, Arkansas and the other is Ninja Fuel Systems out of Murrayville, Georgia. Anyone had any experience with either? And if so, good, bad or otherwise?

Send it to Lars (v8fastcars@msn.com). You'll find plenty of positive reviews for him here on the forum.
Around here, Lars is the man. My 2008 rebuild is still purring like you know what. I've heard good things about Mountain Man, also has good components. Ninja I have no experience with.

Thanks Pete. I was pretty much anticipating that response, but was looking for a rebuilder with a lil bit shorter turnaround time. Yes, everyone raves about Lars, and I may ultimately wind up going there, but hate to have my "baby" laid up for months at a time. BTW, I've been trying to locate his papers on Q-jet and HEI mods. Can you point me in the right direction?

As far as turnaround times, I sent him my carburetor on 12/26/12 and received it on 1/17/13. I would check with him about his current rebuild time, but he is very efficient.

True dat. Was just testing the waters cause it seems to me that in this huge land of ours, there HAS to be more than just 1 competent carb rebuilder. Plus Mountain Man will custom build to your engine specs as does Lars. I believe the calibration on mine is way off with the current exhaust system ('69 side pipes) and 0 ft. above sea level.

I sent mine in on Nov.2 and received it back Nov.14. Just check with him.

I don't think I've ever spent more than 2 weeks turning a carb job around. Where in the world did you get the "months" info..?
And you get my papers by sending me an e-mail request for the papers you would like.
