Default Tripower Carb Restorers

I will be sending out my carbs from my Tripower car soon.
Who are the recommended restorers and do any of them actually tune
them on a running engine?
Tuning 3 carbs I have never done.
Thanks
Dave

I second Phil @ Custom Rebuilt Carb in NJ. I have bought 3 set of dated coded ‘67 Tri-Powers from him plus a dated coded
‘72 LT-1 carb from him. All have performed flawlessly.

Eric Jackson is the guy and yes he bolts the carbs on a running engine
and tunes them and sends you a video of your carbs.
About $1000 with returned shipping if your carbs are complete
and functional and not missing or have broken parts.
Thanks

No he didn’t do them in a week.
Its a 6 week turn around.
I believe he bolts them to a 435hp spec motor.
Guys here rave about him.........Just where mine are going

I have never had anything done by him but have heard good things about Eric. Not sure about running them on a 435hp spec motor. He restores lots of other carbs besides 435hp carbs. If he had a spec motor for each different carb that he restores that would be a really big shop.
