These guys did a great job for me several years ago for my 69 Firebird. They were very reasonably priced too.

Sorry, should have specified that. Auto - Turbo 400.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look them up.

Great place. Steve did a rebuild on my TH 400 this past spring. Give him a call and he'll go over things with you on the phone.
