Has anyone used the Carburator Exchange to rebuild/restore their AVS? They claim to do a total restoration for $200 for my 4327s if I send it to them. If not, who do you recommend?

I see no claim of replating linkages and hardware. IMHO, not a good deal for $200.
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)

If your looking for a somebody that is very good and is very cheep....this is the guy for you. his turn around time is about a week.
Bob Harris 620 W. 10th St. Corona CA 91720 951-734-1174
I gave him my carb and I had it back 5 days later. I put it on my rebuilt 340 and she ran perfect the first time out!!
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

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.

I don't want to take anything away from Scott.....They do very nice restoration over there. Bob offers something a little different. 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!!
