Thanks Dennis - Steve at Rear Engine is, without a doubt, the most 
experienced Corvair carb rebuilder on the planet - but he would be the 
first to tell you that the carbs cores are still 40+ years old. Yes, our 
reject rate IS low - but you still have to prepared for it.  Corvair 
folks have it pretty good with vendors who specialize in rebuilt carbs. 
It wasn't always so......

Back in the 70's and early 80's we used to handle big-name 
"professional" rebuilt carbs, where the reject rate was 50% plus...real 
garbage. Had the same problem with distriutors too.  Lon
