Title: Carburetor Restoration
Post by: red69 on October 25, 2020, 03:31:48 PM: After 45 years of sitting on the shelf I'm going to have my 69 Z carburetor redone. Any recommendations on a shop to do the work?

Here’s a few photos of the restored unit set up on Eric’s test engine:

Here is a NOS DZ carb which has plated boosters... the photo posted above is a much later non OEM double pumper.
