SMI qjet Rebuild opinions

[archie73]

I tried searching this, but never got a good definitive feel if people liked this shop. I have a 73 I'm getting ready to start putting back together after idling for 12 years. Many things are on the list and I'd like to farm this one out to a good shop- this will save me some time and frustration.
- I skimmed through the Clustertruck thread, but was unsure if you were happy with final outcome?
- I saw one other thread that said they drove up to the shop and were impressed.
- Google search is a mixed bag at best, some good, some bad.

Has anyone else used they're rebuild service?

I've had 1 company rebuild 2 carbs in my past.... one was the carb for the 460 in my old Motorhome (and we discussed some changes I wanted made based on online research issues pertaining to that carb specifically) and one for my old 1990 Bayliner Capri 4.3L Alpha 1 - was a 4 barrel carb.

Both of them had quick turnarounds, great customer service, the carbs worked exactly as expected when I got them back. The cost to modify the Holley for the Ford outside of stock was pretty darn inexpensive if I recall as well.

That company is Carbs Unlimited. Quick search on their site and a rebuild is around $225.
