Default Carb rebuilding service

Any opinions on who does a good job of carb restoration? New plating, etc

Ditto on Ray Klemm. He is a member here but email is probably better. Did a very nice job on a 273 carb for me.

Shaker455 may be great too but no personal experience.

Dick Boneske, who is a member here.

Rochester Tri-Power carbs are his specialty, but he does take on some other types of Rochester carbs occasionally from what I understand.

Would be a good idea to specify exactly what carbs you’re looking to have rebuilt to help hook you up with the right rebuilder.

Thanks for the input. The carb I need to restore is off my 70 formula 400. It is the California version

Another vote for Shaker 455. Great communication, great results and I have never had a Quadrajet run as good as the one he did for me.
