Carburator Rebuilding

[Larry E.]

Hello:
Just wondering if Bob Kuntz in St. Louis is still in business? Have not seen
his ad in Hemmings for a while. He has done a few carburators for me and
has done a real nice job.

Thanks; Larry

Larry,
Like you Bob Kunz had done all my carbs over the years. I needed some help with my Q-Jet recently and contacted Bob. Seems he is not wanting to take on much new work and what he does take on may have a lengthy lead time.

I had Bob restore a carb for me recently. He is semi-retired, but still in business. He was about ready to do some remodeling the last time I talked to him, so he may not be accepting new work temporarily.

Larry, I assume your talking about a Holley carburetor. After talking to several other carburetor restorers, I left with the imprssion that most of them were either too booked up, or quite frankly, didn't really want to do the job,..... unless begged.
I turned to Holley's custom shop, and was extremely pleased. I have included a pic of my original 1967 tri-power Holley carbs, after getting them back from the Holley Custom shop (with an 10 week turn-around).
As you can see, the dichromate plating is exactly as they left Holley, back in 1967. This plating is rarely seen as original, from other carb rebuilders.
I insisted that my carbs would be rebuilt with their original external parts, and that's exactly what I received back. The lone exception was a base plate, that was too far gone, and Holley replaced it with a restored original (after contacting me for approval).
I would recommend your consideration of their work. PM me is you need additional info or contact information. Their website is Holley Performance Products. Hope this helps. Ridge.

Re: Carburator Rebuilding

Bob did my tripower about a year ago. They came out real nice and fuctioned great. On mine, I didn't want the factory new look because of the rest of the car is more original like. He delivered nicely. I contacted Chuck Smith, but he had quite a backlog. I suggest that you get a replacement carb and send yours off in September so you'll have them back in March or April and that's only if you're in a hurry.

Actually, they do Rochester, Carter, and Autocraft carbs too. I haven't tried them but their work looks very good. Seems like good advice.

Bob has my dual quads now. Sent them up just a couple weeks ago. Great guy.
