Carburetor Restoration
 
Anyone had any experience with Pony Carburetors Inc.? They restore carburetors and sell them on E-bay.

Never had then rebuild a carb or bought one from them, but I used to have had them re-color a lot of the carbs I sold. They did a good job and were fast and reasonable on their prices.

No but I can tell you that both Pro Systems and The Carb Shop do great work.

May I make a suggestion? Try Craig Bartling...he did my L-78 carb...looks AND performs flawlessly...quick turn around, at least it was done when he said it would be, and price wise, he was MORE than competitive with any other restored carb I've ever seen and visually I couldn't see a difference. I didn't even have to set the idle...

He told me his e-mail link is down so call him...

All I can say is would you rather drive a Yugo or a 69 ZL1 Camaro. If you like Yugo's then send your carb to one of those so called carb shops. If you want the best then send it to Dr. Eric Jackson. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Heck I had a heart attack and was in the hospital for a week and felt like I had been run over by a Mac truck. But when I got home and got the package open I felt like I had died and went to heaven. He's the best!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

If he can bring people back from the dead, then carbs should be a piece of cake. I'll keep him in mind.

Just re-read Mister Turner's post. Died and gone to Heaven? That's not what I want. Might have to reconsider who does my work.

Have used Craig for Rochester and Holley. Bench tests them upon receipt and after rebuild. Good man, good turn around, fair price, good product. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Thanks all again for the kind words.

As far as Pony Carbs or The Carb Shop, I've never dealt with either, and I've never heard anything bad about either company.

If you want the baddest hot rod carburetor on the planet, you'd do well to talk to Patrick James of Pro Systems. I don't know if he does any re-coloring/restoration work or not, but his race carbs are absolutely top-shelf.

Craig Bartling is a good business friend of mine, and his restoration work is top-shelf as well.

Randy;

Glad to be of help. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Eric did the 4557 for my L78 and did a fantastic job... And I am kind of Anal when it comes to my cars... I HIGHLY recommend him, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Eric.....rest assured if I ever encounter a carb problem that I can't handle, you've got the job. Thanks again for taking time from your busy day several times, to answer my questions and look up part numbers. You're the best!
