Sparky the Carb Guy

I just back form a 1100 mile business trip to Indiana Illinois and Wisconsin and met with Greg Kalkoff AKA "Sparky" AKA The Man behind the Curtain.Sat with him as he performed Surgery on My Rochester Quadrajet.Sparky restores these back to day one.I was very impressed with his technique and the patience he throws at these things.He makes sure each and every screw is removed with care and cataloged.Ultrasonic Cleaners ,Plating Tubs.The whole Nine Yards.He just got into another Restoration Service.Alternators.If you are looking for a Carb Restoration or a Alternator Resto ..Sparky is the Guy.He also pours one hell of a Vodka and Soda..Ron
