carbking Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I have been way too busy to do the math. The Carburetor Shop began operating in 1974; that makes 2023 our 50th year of continuous operation. I would like to thank all who have helped us achieve this milestone! Jon 40 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Congratulations! Sadly fifty years is a time frame I can wrap my head around…….although it’s only a recent concept that I can relate to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmoke Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Congratulations and Thanks Jon. 5 years ago I made a simple enquiry on here about options for a carb for 1931 Chrysler CD8 Roadster rebuild, as I had nothing. The original 1931 CX Strombergs were known to be a failure and expensive to find and/or rebuild. You volunteered a straight forward solution, a Carter Carb for a circa 1969 Ford Truck. Bought one NOS on eBay for about $200, installed on rebuilt engine for it's first start in 60 years, works perfectly, even takes the original air cleaner. Such a valuable service you provide to many of us novices. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 John, thank you for supporting the hobby and for going out of your way to not just sell parts, but to provide real world knowledge based on countless hours of research and hands on testing. That kind of dedication and knowledge is becoming more and more rare every day, especially when you factor in that you willingly share that knowledge for free every day on this site and with personal inquiries. You're a rare person these days and we all thank you for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Jon, Thank you for your willingness to help others on a monetary and voluntary basis with free advice, it speaks volumes to your motives toward your hobby brethren. You always seem to think of the things we aren't aware of as an owner and never hesitate to share what might be a better way. Good on you! I for one wish I would have known of your business when it first started. Congrats on this milestone Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
