Hi -- I'm new to the forums. I just got a 1972 240z, and have to entirely replace the carburetors. The closest mechanic to me who knows Zs quoted me around $900 for "better than new" custom rebuilt carbs. Is that too much? -- Thanks.

You're cracking me up Stephen!!!

installed them tuned? ya they magically come tuned in the box you didnt know that!?

i ment to say install them, and tune. not install them already tuned. would be nice though

I guess I'm a grave digger. Sorry about that. I don't quite understand how I found this thread, now that I am looking at time stamps.

Aside from the typo above, a good carburetor shop or manufacturer should have most of the settings within range of easy tuning for the end user.

I did all of the cosmetics on the carbs myself, but that has nothing to do with their performance. It doesn't take much to learn how to rework a set of these the right way. I've rebuilt a lot of carburetors and I have to say that these are by far the easiest ones I have worked with. If something is wrong with them, it's usually a simple mechanical adjustment or a part replacement.
