    carburetor purchase

    I am wondering if anyone has had any dealing with an individual named Gerry Luck. He is located in the midwest. He had a booth at Carlisle last year. I have been trying to buy a carb. for my 65 Big block from him for 6 months. claims he has one. I cany even get him to return a phone call. Anyone know of this person

    Thanks Fred DeNote

    if he is located around or in ST Louis, he's probably the fella that used to work for bob Kunz who still rebuilds all my carbs for show finish. The 3124 holly you need for your 396 is an extremely hard to come by carb. Some unscroupulous folks have been known to remove the service replacement date and restamp it with a 65 date code. Be suspicious and use magnification to examine the area on the air horn where the holly data is stamped. One occassionaly sees an original at carlisle but if the seller is market knowledgable the are usually ovewr a grand for a rebuildable critter. good luck mike

        I agree with Jack - Jerry does excellent work. He is the better part of a year backed up from what I have heard. I had him restore my 67's 3813 about 3 years ago and his work is superb. I had heard he had several shoulder surgeries and some medical issues, and is very very busy catching up...Craig

            Jerry Luck does excellent work, but you just need time and patience.

              I was with Jerry Tuesday evening. He said he was going to the Knoxville Corvette Expo today and wouldn't be back until Monday.

                Jerry is definately the guy for holley carbs. I have had him restore several of the years and his work is without a a doubt A+. He did some tri power carbs that were in real bad shape and I bolted them on 3 years ago and have never touched them since. I didn't even have to adjust the idle when I restarted the car after installing them. Good luck, and if you have the time wait for Jerry.
