We are planning to move back to Youngstown area next year,if we do I'll have to look you up. I use to live pretty close to your shop.
Update on the Carb Shop

Come on by, be glad to meet you and show you around the shop.
Here's a 750 vacuum secondary I just built for the inventory shelf.
Couple of 1960 corvette dual quad setups
TQ rebuild ready to ship.
How much?
It was a $60 dollar core and $175 for the rebuild. TQ core prices vary obviously. Minus the 10 % FABO discount. This piece wasn't a complete core to start with, so I had to put some freshly plated parts on it, that usually go on the resto jobs. Rebuilds get the linkage wire wheeled and a rust preventative applied. The secondary air door is original, just cleaned up.

No show, all go!
Have they all been flow tested/adjusted ? Wet or dry ? Do you also do restoration grade builds with proper ink stampings ?
They are all test ran on our 358" test engine with wideband. 7 of the carbs pictured are destined for ink stamping before they leave the door.
And it’s clowns like this that collect these carbs with hopes to rebuild them all and make money. Lots of money! These have become so scarce it’s nutz! No wonder Edelbrock is such a success!!!!! This *** clown has every carb in OE style that Edelbrock has ever sold!
Have you seen what the world at large wants for a WCFB?!?! Holy mouse turds! And that’s one reason I sold my Poly dualquad. Frak that expensive chit!

I used to look for carbs at wrecking yards 25 to 30 years ago, and I usually found them outside, exposed to the elements, piled up in a pickup truck box, looking like they had been thrown in from about 30 ft away, at least. It got so, that I just gave up looking for them.
This has been a fun project so far.... can't wait to go to the dyno. They go on a blown 383 on E85.

Hey Dana! Do you set up thermoquad to run with more radical cams? I plan to use a 292/508 mopar cam. So this is a pretty large hydraulic.
Absolutely, shop # is 330-799-9479
