Just bought a set of brackets for the 400 Kickdown switch that fine69 will install. We are getting closer.

Fine69's shop has a place in CA. that brings them back to like new spec's and condition. I don't know the name of the business but I can get more info if you want.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-23-2011, 03:59 PM

I bet you're getting really anxious to get behind the wheel of it? It sounds like it's almost there now!

In three letters YES The suspension will be correct, I will have the kick down switch working as it should plus the brakes will be 100% functional. Fun times are just days away. Plus new wheels and tires

Could it be The Carb Shop? http://www.thecarbshop.com/

He's been around for decades... great work.

Ya, if you could find out that would be cool, I have been working on LJ's truck (mine now) and the carb is in need of a good rebuild.

**70cst** · 05-29-2011, 02:28 AM

I think fine69 said it was the Carb Shop. One issue they found was the linkage wasn't 100% correct. It is finished and on its way home.

Thanks, the ol' GMC runs like a top but I think there is a sticky float. It either loads up or runs out of gas while driving. I gave it a Seafoam treatment and it is 100 times better but it still needs some attention. Hope your rig does everything you hope it does... exciting times!

Today fine69 recieved the Carb back from Ca. Mike said it looks NOS or even better. I will verify where he had the Carb rebuilt and pass it on. It might be the Carb Shop but I am not 100% sure.

**john** · 06-06-2011, 07:39 PM

Dont forget the pics of the new wheels.

Fine69 will be sending me pics of the carb, name of the business and cost of carb rebuilder. Once I get this info I will post the info.

**70cst** · 06-14-2011, 10:29 PM

Ok...
For those asking...the carb was sent to RECarbCo Carburetors in Pittsburg Ca. and let me say...they did one HECK of a job. It looks NOS. Foir those who want a PH # PM me and I will pass it on.

**70cst** · 07-24-2011, 02:13 PM

The above is the place where my Q Jet was rebuilt. They did an absolutely excellent job. The carb looks like an NOS Carb with a 1 yr warranty. The LINK is above. I got the Circuit Rider home last night about 11:45pm. It ran flawlessly. Fine69 has the Circuit Rider running, handling, and riding better than factory new, I just need to get use to driving a BB 40 yr old truck. The only issue is the Extang Revolution Tonnue Cover isn’t fitting properly so I will need to address that. I will take the truck to Curt’s for a few minor issues that need to be fixed and then the Circuit Rider will be back on the prowl--on the highways and byways. Then again are our trucks ever really finished?

Noah, the owner, is a good friend of mine, I'll have to see if he'll cut us a discount for this Free advertizing

He has my vote. As mentioned he did an excellent job on my carb. Maybe he should become a Vendor because folks are always looking for a "good" carb rebuilder.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-25-2011, 01:48 AM

I'm glad to hear you have circuit rider back and almost done, in this phase.

As you said, are they ever really finished? I don't think so, but that's just me.
