I would check with Jim and Tere.

They had their Carb rebuilt by Oscar Heritz who is highly recommended by Lee .

For those who may be contemplating having their 454 Q-J carb rebuilt and don't have a local reliable source, I'd highly recommend that you pack it off to: Auto Clinic, 722 M-139, Benton Harbor, MI 49022.

Oscar Heritz, the owner, has been rebuilding carbs full time since high school - he's a year or two from retirement now. He specializes in GM products. He's inventoried "cleaning products" that the EPA yanked off the market years ago, and your carb comes back looking better than the day it was originally manufactured.

I think I spent less than $20 shipping both ways....More than off-set by his small town labor rates......

He'll gladly answer any phone questions: call 269-927-2237 (If he sounds a tad grumpy, it's because he is, but it grows on you .........)

Oscar did a fine job for us. Put it on, fired right up the first time. Very quick turn around. Very nice to talk to. I can't seem to find my receipt but I think it was about $200. He's in Michigan and the phone number is in Lee's email that Bill attached.

Besides the recommendation of Oscar Heritz from both Lee and Jim, there is another person who would know. Tom K builds kit cars and is into that scene. He recommends...

Update: Oscar Heritz recently sold his shop and semi-retired so his mailing address is no longer valid. He's still doing carb rebuilds part time at his home shop. His shop phone # was transferred to his new cell phone, so call first to get new shipping address.

When I had a business in MI, he maintained all my equipment.....When a carb or alternator was Oscar-ized,
it always came back better than new.....
