Default Need someone to heli-coil my Quadrajet fuel inlet near Green Bay, WI

I have the original 68 quadrajet that came with my 400 engine. It has a self tapping fuel inlet fitting that was installed by someone else before I bought it. Since I'm rebuilding the carb, I'd like to have the fuel inlet properly tapped and heli-coiled before putting it back together (if the self tapping inlet hasn't oversized it too much). Can any of you recommend a shop within an hour or so of Green Bay that can do this? I really don't want to risk sending it out and having it get lost or damaged in the process. These original correct number Pontiac carbs are getting hard to come by.

I know that there is at least one reputable shop in Milwaukee that can do it, but it's a couple of hours from here. I'd like to find a local shop as I've got other carbs I'll be doing as well over the winter.

I already bought all of the parts for the rebuild from Cliff.

Thanks
Old Joe
