Weber carb rebuild/repair

[osgjps]

Can any of you fine folks recommend a place to get the Weber 32/36 in my GT rebuilt? Preferably a place in & around Atlanta so I don't have to fiddle with shipping it.


I could normally do the rebuild myself, but the electric choke on the carb needs to be replaced/repaired as well and I haven't been able to find the parts to do it without replacing the whole carb ($200!).

Gene can probably chime in, but what about Harold at Rockdale Imports? His shop is in Conyers.

Harold can do this, and I can too. As for parts, you can go to Top-End Performance. Import Car Parts and Tuning. Weber Carbs. 818 764-1901 www.redline.com or go to Gabriel in Italy

How much can you trim off of the air horn before you get into trouble?
32-36 weber thats way too small.
BQS4 is the 38 still on the table?

Not enough airflow? Try boring the secondary venturi out to 1.1875". Feels like a Holley 4-bbl when the secondary kicks in! Of course you'll have to re-jet, especially the secondary idle and main.

The nice thing is the part-throttle driveability and economy remains as long as you're on the primary barrel.

Lets say ohh two hours to rebuild the carb @ 80 bucks an hour
umm whats more cost effective?
And that's low for the Atlanta area which is more around the century mark.
That said times are slow so you might get a good deal.
Thats how I got the old girl painted!
