I paid $135 to have it rebuilt. Most of it was labor.
The guy I had rebuild it seems like a fair man who has been doing it for awhile.
His typical rebuild cost for a q-jet is $155, but I already had a new float, and most parts were OK so he reused them and took it off the $155.
The plugs on the bottom that can leak are not sealed up any different on these Edelbrocks then the older Rochesters. He sealed them up with epoxy or what ever they use. He also drilled out the shaft holes and installed oil impregnated bushings. He says when a carb is in good shape like this one its good to have it done. Keeps everything in line better and can make the carb last awhile longer. He also said the accelerator pump in mine wasn't working as well as it should. He said the fuel blend we get here eats up these stock type ones. He installed "the blue one" which is much better and should easily last 3-4 years without problems. Don't have it on the truck yet, but I feel confident in his work, Ill let you guys know how everything is doing once I get the truck on the road, hopefully by Saturday.
