Hello,

Any recommendations on getting a set of carbs (six pack) from a 1970 roadrunner restored? I also have a cast iron dual point distributor that needs restored. Wanted to get some opinions to ensure I go with a reputable shop.

Here are a few that I have found:

distrest (looks like they can do both the carbs and distributor)

Carburetor Restoration - Scott Smith

Harms did several for me. Quality. Woodruff is a sponsor on A bodies too. Can't go wrong with HALIFAXHOPS for distributors.

Any contact info available on Harold?? Scott does very nice work, but had a bit of a wait for services last time I was looking to have one done.
 
If you have a junk carb with issues, there's a good chance of getting one back with issue's. Buddy was working on a friends that had deep issues. He recommended get at least 1 new carb minimum (wasn't #'s correct carb anyways). Then it goes to one of those resto places mentioned above. Looks fantastic. But only performs a little better.

Now my buddy is trying to do some magic. Carb owner now wishes he would have bought new carbs when they were still available. Hindsight is 20/20.

Junk in, junk out.
 
Woodruff carbs, close to you (Youngstown area). And Halifax is in western NY.
