It's finally ready!

[Roadcuda]

Some of you may remember that I sent the carb for my Barracuda out to Harms Smith for restoration. That's the same guy who did Bobs carbs. Well I got the notice today that it's ready. I'm just waiting for him to send me the bill so I can get it on the way home. Knowing that Bob had a good experience how his carbs were set up and ran well, I can't wait to get it back on the car to see how it runs! Included are the before, and after pics.

I hope so George. He completly tears them down to clean every passage, and sends the appropriate parts out for replating. If it does run as good as it looks, I may just have to find the money and send him the carb out of the RR!

Basic rebuild, no additional parts, is $345, for 4bbls. Besides the work you see in the pics, he puts them on a mule engine and sets them up to run. Bob can tell you how he does on that part of the rebuild.

Steve, Do you have a B engine in your Barracuda? I am sure that is a big block intake.

No Harold, it's an A engine. Those pics are from Harms. I think he places all the carbs he does on an intake for the effect. I'm still waiting for the invoice so I can pay him and get it back on the car to see how it looks, and runs.
