Remanufactured Edelbrock Carbs

[Houle #382]

Just wondering if anyone has purchased a remanufactured Edelbrock 750 or 800 carb and if so any issues with them.

How much do you save buying a reman one?

I bought two 600 Preformers at Carslisle. The vendor had hundreds of them and said that these were only ran on a dyno. They were really cruddy on the inside and I ended up rebuilding them. Both of them were so out of adjustment I don't know how they would have ever run.

How much did they set you back?

I believe I got them for $100 a piece. Not bad but when they tell you they're ready to run.

I wonder if the remans are returns to the supplier like (summit etc.)

even on a reman I would pull the top and check the float settings and get a eyeball on the insides.

Ditto!
The one that came on my engine (prominently stamped "REMAN" on the baseplate) had every jet and needle in it all wrong.
Every one. Wound up buying the kit and installing the jets and needles Edelbrock lists for the carb. Things got better from there.

I ended up buying one from National Carburetor out of Jacksonville Florida. They are the National leader in Remanufactured Carbs in the US. $270.00 bucks delivered, with a life time warranty. Saved almost a $100. bucks. Quoting eldubb440 simple design not much can go wrong, I hope !
