Some basic labor & parts prices are listed below. Please note that these are only general guidelines and actual costs may vary depending on the particular make & model of carburetor and whether or not additional parts and/or services are required. When estimating your cost, take into consideration the basic labor rate, the cost of parts (kit, float, pull-off, etc.) and the cost of bushing the base.

-Floats: Note that new floats have not been available for these carburetors for many years. As such, we are forced to re-use your original floats, or if they are no longer serviceable, reconditioned original components must be used. The cost of these components varies depending on the application, but typical costs can be $50.00+ each and are subject to availability. As such, there is no warranty on any float-related issues on these carburetors.

Extremely dirty carburetors, or carburetors that have been spray painted will incur a minimum additional cleaning charge of $175.00.

De-warping Rochester Quadrajet carburetors:
While some amount of warp is to be expected on these carburetors simply due to their design, some carburetors are far more damaged than others. When warpage is minimal, usually no corrective steps are necessary, but in severe cases, the top casting & main body will require straightening to ensure correct carburetor function. Depending on the severity of the warp, repair costs will start at $175.00 (for both castings) and go from there. Please note that it is nearly impossible to resolve 100% of the warp, so some slight warp may remain after repairs, but it will be within acceptable limits to ensure proper carburetor function. To avoid further damage upon re-installation, please avoid over-tightening your carburetor mounting fasteners. The recommended torque value for a typical 5/16″ carb mounting fastener is 60-80 inch/lbs, or roughly 5-6 ft.lbs
