Re: Restamped Holley Carbs
This is a very sore subject for me...the reasons why should be obvious. Despite what some might think, for me it isn't so much about costing us (restorers) business, it's moreso about people being decieved about what they're buying.
I've thought about posting up some info on how to spot these re-release carbs that have been stamped/re-stamped/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, but there's this nagging voice inside my head that keeps telling me I'll A) open myself up for potential litigation, which is a hassle I certainly do not need, B) p*ss off a few other people in this industry I really don't want to p*ss off, and C) be giving away some of the "secrets" to spotting these FAKES that the re-stampers aren't covering up which might inadvertantly help them better disguise their works.
For anyone who's uncertain if they're buying the real deal or not, there are numerous ways to spot one of these newer release carbs from an original. If you have any questions, ask and I will try to help...but do it privately. PM, email or call.
