Who refurbishes/rebuilds Carter AFB carbs?
Picked up a complete core AFB for my '67 400 and it needs a refresh.

Jon Hargrove (out of Eldon Missouri) is considered by many to be one of the best AFB tuners out there. Talk to him, get the right gaskets, and rebuilding the carb (with his help), YOURSELF, and that knowledge and his gaskets will be something you need to know about anyway.

Jon now sells parts, only. I'm sure buying parts from him will enable you to tuning tips.
He only takes orders on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Did you see the article about the teenage girl who started a carb rebuilding business? Very inspiring to see a young lady and her friends going this direction. There’s hope for the future yet!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
