Looking for a good carb rebuild service that also will refinish them..

why don't you just rebuild them yourself? Not to complex. I'd almost just try them as is. Soak them good, let them sit over-night. Get rid of any of the old gas, refill and fire it up. You'll probably want to pull the plugs and oil up the cylinder walls while you are at it.

rebuild and refinish will be about the same cost , maybe more , than new .

Are they the original carbs ?

Scott Smith restores carbs

Promax did my carbs - then dials them in on a dyno..they also have some slick parts you may want to consider (plates to use jets on the outboard carbs)....I also think he is MOPARTs member

replacement carbs - rebuild yourself, not hard as stated - holley kit 3-396(I think)x3, originals - as said - Scott Smith/HARMS Automotive in Seattle WA., he did my carbs - they came out perfect.

I agree, they are very easy to rebuild, but you'd be surprise the number of sixpack carbs I've had to re-rebuild because someone FUBAR'd them during a rebuild,...I'd say if the "numbers/originality" matters, and properly rebuilding them is beyond one's realm of experience, send them out, the OP is looking for refinish as well, that's well beyond most hobbiest...if just function is your primary goal, and rebuilding them yourself is out of the question, new carbs are your best bet, then sell the old stuff to recoup some $$$


FYI...SummitRacing.com has good prices, last set I bought came in around $970 for 340/6 carbs

Thanks guys...The original carbs are put up who knows where and the ones on it are new replacements from years ago...I agree they are suppose to be easy to rebuild as i'm inside holleys all the time...Here lies the problem...I got motivated about 4yrs ago and rebuilt them,same as i've done before,left to long in cleaner,finish came off and wouldn't run right since then,so back on went the cover...I'll make another run at it as holley carbs are pretty simple...Thanks again!!!
