There's a Mopar guy around here that does them for around $135 without plating, just fine cleaning that will not remove any original plating left. Looks fine and works great, just not fresh plating (which of course looks great)

I'll give another thumbs up to Bob. He did a spread bore Holley for my 383 over 10 years and it's still running like a Swiss clock. He even scored me an NOS base plate since mine had some warpage for next to nothing.

He makes a very nice carb on a budget and that is hard to do today. If I was doing a '71 Hemi Cuda and money was no object...Scot would get the call. But on my little 1969 340 Dart.....Bob got the call and hit a Home Run!! ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!
