Carb Rebuild- Ken at Everyday Performance

Hi Guys- just wanted to get your opinion on getting my carb rebuilt by Ken at Everyday Performance in CT. He seemed like a good guy and knew what he was talking about. I was planning on SMI, but they are 10 weeks out on their rebuilds where Ken is only a week or so. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I got Ken to rebuild mine. Ran a lot better after sending it to him. Did idle circuit mods and rebushed the secondaries plus a recalibration to the specs I gave him. He was under $300 with me providing the core a year ago.

I've used him and some of my friends and a lot of guys on V8Buick.com, all great reviews. He also just opened a parts store and some other good stuff. He is a good guy.

Have you heard of Custom Rebuilt Carburetors? You're from southern NJ and he's from Middlesex. He did 2 of my carbs and he was in Englishtown swap meet. Just a thought.

Ken is highly recommended.

Excellent service, before, during and after the sale.

Super knowledgeable.


I know many people who have used him, and are very happy.

Thanks for all the reccomendations guys! Ely I think I called custom a while back but I if I remember I think he was significantly higher in price for a basic rebuild then Ken or Sean. But I could be wrong.
