Sparky's Carb service:
I got my carb back from Sparky this weekend. I have to say I was quite impressed. It looked outstanding. I had considered going with an Edelbrock, and am glad I didn't. Sparky made the old Q-Jet look better than new, he even cleaned up the choke pipe and other random stuff I threw in the box when I shipped it.
Today, I bolted it on the car. I anticipated a few issues, and thought there might be some adjustments, but I was wrong. As soon as I got fuel in the bowl, it started right up, idles and runs good.
What a breath of fresh air to receive great service every once in a while, hard to come by these days.
Thanks again, Sparky! I truly appreciate it.

Sparky is the MASTER! No doubt. One day, I'd love to send mine in to him!

I heard many great comments about Sparky!
If I had extra money I would have him rebuild the carbs on my two 1968 W-34!
