I have used the Holley repair center many times and always have been satisfied. They do all brands and rebuilt a Qjet for me that's on my 65 Malibu that works real well. On the other hand, I used Daytona Parts to restore my tri power setup on my Tempest and they sent back good looking carbs but the center carb came back with shim stock wrapped around the throttle shaft to "fix" it. They were supposed to have rebushed all throttle shafts. Needless to say that is the last dollar ($600.) they will get from me. We live and learn.

> Kent, > I sent a carb to them about 15 years ago, maybe more or less. It was the factory Quadrajet off of my 1968 427/390 Corvette. The fuel inlet was stripped, so they helicoiled it. The drilled out the factory bushing and installed brass. The carb was suppose to have been flowed tested. When I installed it, it ran perfect. No problems. Then I let the car sit. Now it's back in a box. But other than that, I did not have any problems. I understand that Holley does the same thing at their facility in Bowling Green Ky. > You decide.
