Looking for some recommendations on having a pair of Hemi carbs redone.

Heard Scott @ Harms and a guy in Manasses VA ( Dick Katter) were both highly capable.

Not looking to have them just kitted, looking to have them restored to corect, original look/function.

Thanks Moparts......

I'd contact Scott Smith first and with one look at his previous restorations, send to him for a professional/expert hemi carb resto.

Well, with what I went through with my AVS with Dick, I think I will be sending it to Scott the next time it needs to be redone!

I think you have your pictures mislabeled , or Scott is real good at making them look like they were pulled from a swamp .

Hello,

Thanks to all of your supportive comments, I appreciate them and your business!


*John, I don't know if your were serious or not but in case you were, I photograph all carbs I receive right after I unbox them (in detail including part#'s and date codes) before I begin any work, the photos shown are of the same set of carbs "before & after". Nothing was done to enhance either photo.

Scott, I think he means that the captions for the "before" and "after" pix are reversed.


Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck.

Well maybe I should have added "PRESTO" after 35 years.....
This is what you get.


Someday they will make it on the car.


Maybe we need a PRESTO GRAEMLIN

A12Bee, yes every carb is test run on a mule engine prior to shipment, it helps a ton in eliminating problems BEFORE they get to the customer

Scott, how long can they sit after the rebuild before they are installed, just trying to know what kind of lead time I need so they dont go bad before installation/use.

I can see the surface of the carbs even though dicromate? plated it looks to have a texture from sandblasting....

...is it possible to have a smoother finish as original?

Maybe the pic is deceiving...I dont know.
