I just bought a used holley 4180 carb for my car.. I was wondering if anyone knows someone or some place that does a good job rebuilding and jetting carbs.. I'm tryna do more of a performance build on the carb, not stock.. any info or hookupz would be great!!

If you want a performance carb, dump that smog era 4180 and pick up a 4150

Here's some info on a 4180: http://www.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/mump_0907_how_to_understand_the_holley_4180/viewall.html

Rebuilding is easy, and jets are easy to change too, it will just take a little time switching them out seeing what works best. Depending on your setup and carb cfm, you might get away with just using it stock with good tuning.

i can rebuild it and get u close, but will never be perfect till u dyno it. 100 bucks labor with your motor combo plus kit. a gd kit is like under 50 to 40 bucks.
