I posted this question as a response to another thread but I don't think the local LA people were reading that one. Anyway, I have a Ford 2100 carburetor on my '59 Edsel and need to have it redone. Does anyone know of a reputable shop in the LA area. Thanks
I don't know what part of LA you are in, but one big name shop is SMI in Huntington beach: Sean Murphy Induction 17671 Metzler Lane unit A-7 Huntington Beach, CA 92647 Phone: 714.843.9169 Fax: 714.843.9165 http://smicarburetor.com I bought a kit from them but never had a carb rebuit by them. That being said, you might look in the yellow pages for a shop closer to you that will most likely be cheaper too. P.S. Another shop in LA is: Automotive Carburetor Exchange 1467 South Westgate Ave. West Los Angeles CA 90025 (310) 575-4060 http://www.lacarb.com
I got a carb done near west adam's and La Brea, at a regular old carb shop called Washington Carburetors. The guy pulled the carb, rebuilt it and installed it for 75.00. It was a good rebuild. On a 59 Dodge poly with a two barrel. Should be a bit more for a 4 barrel. I can get more info on this shop if your interested, just PM me. There another shop I know of in Monclair called Mr Carburetor 8981 Rose Ave, Montclair, CA - (909) 625-3488 He converted a manual choke edelbrock and rebuilt it for about 125.00 a few years back. Abe
