Seriously, i think the real trepidation i have, and i'm amazed in your case, is the good relationships you have with your brothers-in-laws, NOT how hard it is to rebuild a quadrajet (it's not hard btw). Seriously. In my opinion people are much more difficult than cars.


1) The rebuilt/"remanufactured carbs you can get at parts superstores are atrocitites. Junk. In that case you might as well rebuild your own because if you buy one of these, YOU WILL be rebuilding to get it right.

2) However, better companies that specialize in carb rebuilding can do a very good job. i think JET has a good rep. But $450.


3) As an outside "darkhorse" contender, i'm thinking of trying Holley. Yes, that's right Holley remanufactures rochester carbs! $320 ish.


So i don't know; If you think you might want to try it then you can always get a few quads off craigs(i love that guy) or ebay and experiment with them---eventually you'll get it right. The youtube vids are marvelous.

Or if you're really not interested/queasy then i would try the high quality remans.
