Sparky's Does It Again!

Thanks to a tip from jstrits I sent Greg my functional OE OAI motor to see if there would be anyway he could replate it without taking it apart. Sure enough, in a few days he has it done and looking fantastic! I'm sure others out there might be in need of this service if the repo part is not good enough. Thanks again Greg.

Wow I'm thinking he must be backed up really far maybe he needs some help over there huh!!!!! Anyone know how long it's been taking him to get theirs done?

He has been backed up for a long time. He was also just on vacation. When he gets a single part like the one Joe sent, He will toss it in with some other carb parts he is doing at the same time. That is why his didn't take long. I think my carb took 5 months but i told him I was not in a hurry and if another one came in they needed in a hurry it was ok to put it in front of me.


Looks great Joe. I think I am going to send him mine along with my oil pressure sender and backup light housings.

Funny , I toldem same thing wasn't in a hurry he said a month so I figured on two. Either way as long as its done and right . I still wish he would come on with it; lol if I had known I think would have pulled my motor out and paint and new gasket it up and get my headers on , trimming chain oil pump ahhh might as well just cam it with some flat tops ..... Dang carb job just got real expensive
