Looking for carb builder in E. TX.

I would like to get a quality rebuild on my stock carter/quadrajet. Do you know anyone in the E. TX area? Thanks

Call Sean -- contact info is here: http://www.smicarburetor.com/

It's in California, but this guy knows his stuff!

Here is what I got back -- not a stock rebuild, but he's probably good with that too. Couldn't be happier with the work!

$359. I think stock re-builds are cheaper. I also did not send him a carb. It took 3 weeks.

Re: Looking for carb builder in E. TX.

FYI. Check of the link for SMI. I emailed Sean today and he said a stock rebuild would be $200.00. The only bad part is shipping it and waiting for it to get back.
