I will be taking no future carb work from any member on the PY Board.

Do not ask or send me e-mails on this deal. I will be finishing Robert William's carb project and doing a job for SGT GTO and that will be it.

My present schedule does not allow the "favors" that I used to provide to members to fix their carbs. I will not be posting on carb fixes either. Shaker 455 is doing a good job on Holley questions. Send your work to him. He is hungry and wants the work. He will build you a nice carb.

One comment:

When you are asking someone "to do a favor for you" you should understand that you are on THEIR schedule, NOT YOURS. I have fixed a lot of screwed up carbs that other companies and individuals messed with before they sent the crap to me to fix. Typically the price doubles (by other companies) when you
"watch their work" "nag about delivery dates" or "made suggestions"

In my case, when the person nagged, the carb went to the back of the group of carbs I was working on. The other people were not complaining about their carbs delivery dates, therefore they should be rewarded and their carbs moved ahead of the complainer's carb. I have followed this policy for the last 29 years. As a point of reference, Cliff Ruggle's customers wait a minimum of 6 months for a carb to be delivered. He does the job for a living and has a lot more time than I do to work on carbs.

Maybe that is being "hardnosed" on the "back of the line" deal but I have rarely ever made any money on the jobs I have done because as I said I was helping people out.
