Patrick is very obtainable when you need help.
Do I feel I got $1,200 worth of carburator, NO. But, his customer service was excellent. That adds up for a lot $$ compared to others I have dealt with.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

When I check the air bleeds to the spec sheet I find out that they don't match. After talking to Brad at Prosystems he tells me that the bleeds are not as labled they buy #23's in bulk and then drill them to what they need. That to me is unbelievable.
Have you measured them to verify he is telling you the truth? What facts do you have to say "unbelievable" ?
I can't tell anything from what you posted.

I have never dealt with Patrick or his Carbs. When you do as many carbs as he does,you would surely buy many parts (air bleeds) in bulk,and drill them as needed for the specific one you need.It really is not that uncommon. I'm sure he will work it out with you.

Is there someone by the name of Brad at Prosystems?
Yeah, we were playing phone tag today.
First I called the main number, got the machine and left a message. Waited as long as I could then left. Of course he called while I was gone. Brad left his "direct number" no answer there either or a call back today. Hopefully we'll be able to catch each other tomorrow.
I changed my jets today. First time the carb has been apart and one of the blue fuel bowl gaskets was severed in half along the top. Right after I started the car for the first time another gasket was leaking like a sieve. The bowl screws were already tight. I replaced the gasket, and it was good to go. All the gaskets seemed to be dried out and appeared used:(

If you read the tag that comes with the carb, it tell you that they wet flow these using a non flammable liquid. Also that the jetting can be off because of this. And that you should check for leaks, because they can't flow with a flammable liquid then ship. Patrick called me personally when I had a carb question. His service is second to none as far as I'm concerned.. My carb was perfect out of the box. Chris..

If those are the red ones that BLP supplies, they are by far the best bowl gaskets I've used.
