Default Eric Jackson peforms his magic again!

I just got my carb back today from Eric and again he did an absolutely wonderful job. Although my carb is original to my car, a previous owner changed the front fuel bowl and it was incorrect for a 1970 Z28 with NA9 Calif emissions. You will notice in the before pics that there is no hose connection for the hose coming from the charcoal canister as all 4489 Holley's with NA9 had. Somehow Eric was able to track down the correct fuel bowl for this very rare carb and now the hose from the canister can be properly attached. If it wasn't for Eric, I wouldn't have known where to start looking for this missing fuel bowl. The after pictures speak for themselves and the kind of work Eric does. It's been said before here on the sYc site but I feel I really need to emphasize again that if your carb ever needs rebuilding or restoring, you really owe it to yourself and your car, to send it off to Eric. He is a true craftsman and his work is second to none! Thank you again Eric, for your brilliant work and the quick turn around!

Before pics...note the front fuel bowl





And the after pics...





Installed back on the car...

I notice you no longer have the "see thru float level monitoring device" those things are an accident waiting to happen according to Eric. Another beautiful job from the man from Ohio

Makes me want to go out a break one of my carbs, just so I can send it to him
