the 2 cliff did were rebuilds with mods for performance, one was for a 78 W72 4speed t/a with a mild cam & headers i rebuilt with speed pro forged pistons, runs great right out of the box, havent even tuned idle screws on that one. the most recent is another 78 q-jet i used on a 500+hp alum head stroker engine in a 72 firebird, converted to elect choke & again runs great in all ways, street, strip to low 11's & hot or cold weather. both those carbs were in good condition & didnt need any restoration.
my friends SMI carb was also in good shape but needed some resto work, had most parts replated & when cleaned up it looked great too. was a decent price for what was done too. that carb ran very good & did 430hp on a couple dyno pulls during break in.
if this is mostly stock & only does shows or cruises i think youd be very happy with SMI, send a message to them & ask for a quote for what you want done. or check around your local area or a google search, there are quite a few places that do rebuilds.
