    Carb rebuild in Pittsburgh

    Is there a place that rebuilds carbs in the pgh area? I have an edelbrock 600 cfm that needs rebuilt. I have tried a few times and the thing won't run right with this carb. A guy I work with said years ago he had one done by a guy in bridgeville area. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Tim Rodeheaver is a site sponsor and comes very highly recommended. He did the motor/tranny/clutch install in my '66. Great guy. Shop is in Masontown. Definitely worth the drive - his place is like Disneyland for gearheads.

    "The Garage" on 88 in Castle Shannon can probably do it too, bunch of old school guys there.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    I'm from Butler. Travel all over the area for work. Thanks for all the good leads. I don't want to buy a new carb when this one should be OK. Probably a blocked passage.

    Haha. Hey fellas!
    I stopped in from time to time. Never really much to say or post though.

    To save clutter to this thread, we can move to the BS thread.
