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
