A lot of the time you can buy a new carb for less than what it costs to have someone rebuild yours. If you buy the kit and do it your self, you should save a bit. My experiance with rebuilds is mixed. I have done it myself on 1 and 2 bbl carbs with good luck. I paid to have it done on a work truck and did not have any better carb than when I started. I bought a new Carter AFB for less than the cost of the rebuild and fixed years of fighting the old dodge.
