Just the engine itself and the labor to install it. The carburetor is a reman that I put on previously.

Nate, just out of curiosity, where did the reman carbs come from that you had problems with?

Hope this shop has a different source. I'm looking forward to seeing your van one of these days - gotta get that puppy running right!

Clear skies!

It's what you learn after you know it all, that counts...

Are you living to work, or working to live?

RB is done and I'll pick it up after work. I bought the reman from that place in Florida called Guaranteed Carbs and previously had never a problem with the carbs I bought from them. They have a lifetime warranty on workmanship...not dirt getting into the carb (I put a new filter on too!). Oh well...I still have the rebuild kit coming from Jeg's so I'll have an extry. I'll chuck the old carb unless somebody wants it as a backup. It's a Holley 2280 non-feedback carb.

No problemos Wookee. I'm off next Friday...maybe I can make my way over to your place.

The shop said they got the new carb from PAPA Auto Parts. I've had good luck with them in the past. There's a store right in Brooklyn too.
