After some searching, I see that they can apparently be bushed. - Is this something that can easily be done at home by myself? - Are there any pros out there that I can send my carb to that can repair this and go through the whole carb for a reasonable price? 1972 Dodge Charger - F7, Rallye pkg, 340, A833 2007 Dodge Charger R/T R&T - 12sec daily beater 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T - M1, cam, heads, T56 swap 1997 Dodge Dakota - 318, NV3500, 3.92 Sure Grip

For more hits on Google, it's a common repair on Rochester carbs as well. It's helpful if you have a drill press to do the work though. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I am very familiar with Thermo-Quad carburetors so no worries. If you have any questions feel free to call 801-940-2689 Scott 7336400-71ThermoquadEngineBayCustomerCarl.jpg (70 downloads)

Just bought a BBD that the shaft pops in and out 1/4"??? "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"
