I have reached out locally to The Carb Guys Inc. They are in Ontario, Canada (province next door).
I'll send them the carb sometime next week.
They seem to have pretty good reviews, 6-8 week turnaround time. Not very much of a choice at this point, I just hope all goes well and they do the right thing, and I can drive the car with the rebuilt carb for the fall.
My only other choice would be to send the carb to Autoline Products Ltd. but I believe I'll pass on these people. The carb in this thread was a remanufactured unit from them.
Hope dies last. LOL

You do not have to remove the carburetor to fix the choke issue.
