Throttle plate
 

You could buy a new throttle plate and install it yourself, it is a piece of cake (maybe an expensive piece of cake!)

Quadrajets
 

I'll buy the Quadrajets, I love em!

If you do decide to go with a new base plate, consider one of the billet ones from Demon. Those will never break...well maybe never, but you'll actually have to try to break it! :D

Rebushing isn't hard to do, but it's absolutly critical that they align. I believe that a kit might be available. Try contacting "The Carb Shop" of Ontario California, or "Jones Carburation" also in California.

Fred, talk to me about the q-jets.

Crazyhorse....you got a message in your PM.......Fred

Carb Guy?
 

Dyno, the last time I was at Great Lakes the tall thin dude with glasses running the sling was telling me about a carb guy in Grand Haven who sets up carbs for NASCAR teams. According to him the two of them used to build & rebuild starters and stuff. If you do find this guys name please let know, it would be cool to find a good carb guy local.
