Woodruff replied back to my email this morning. They have a backlog of about March.

Pros: nice quality work, middle of the road on quotes, dials in the carb on a running engine, complete restoration

Cons: turn-around time is about 5 mo.

did you call him yet?? Vintage Muscle Car Parts
 
There used to be a TQ Guide floating around on the net written by Gary Lewallen (aka. Vaanth).

That guide lists the rods for a 6319 carb as 1966, further supporting the earlier post.

The primary jet should be a 4098 and the secondary a 5137, FWIW.

I used to collect TQ's and have several in boxes. Only one of interest is the 6452 that came off my car, the rest are more just parts carbs. I really need to dig them out and put them up for sale and get them out of my way.

Yes, I have joined that group and spoken with the admin. Considering sending my carb out to him. Their work looks nice

Pros: nice quality work, price, turn-around time
Cons: dealing with customs since they are located in Canada, he doesn’t test on a mule engine as part of his process

The experience I have had with buying goods from Canada is there were no customs problems, but shipping takes forever. Now Canadians buying goods from the US get nailed with duty tax.

Also I would not buy a rebuid from a vendor who did not wet flow test it but I’m not sure if that involves a mule engine. Chances are its going to need to be tuned to your car anyway.
 
What ever happened to demon sizzler? He was a whiz with tq's and did a couple for me some years ago

I emailed them.

$600 for resto, 8 week+ turnaround, I would have to source all missing parts but he does tune on a live, running engine.

i didn't get the "resto" as the original finish wasn't important to me.. back when i had mine done scott smith wanted like 800 for a resto and had even a longer wait.. god knows what he is charging now.

Looks like it depends on how fast you want/need it, and how important the run-in is to you.
I've got one I was considering sending to Manley but I hadn't looked into the customs side of it. I know he does a bunch from here so it's doable, just a matter of how difficult they make it. My personal experience with Canadian customs while traveling and working in Canada has been dismal to date.
