For another source, I got my 300C kits from here years ago https://carburetor.ca/index.html Had everything I needed to do the job. Factory service manual plus supplemental bulletins are pretty good to follow if you want to do it yourself. Wish I knew there was so much money in restoring carbs! Would have given up engineering to make some real money.

He does AFB’s as well and is “brand agnostic” (he did the AFBs on a 300H setup I had that Matt Allyn now has.) Personal experience: I do not recommend Jim McGowan. Personal experience: Jim McGowan at the Quad Shop jimsquadshop.com did a great job restoring the WCFB carbs for my 1957 300C, including the Chrysler Tech Bulletin that called for special modifications and jetting changes. The modified carburetors came back with the correct original phosphate finish on the carb bodies and excellent zinc plated linkages. Yes, it took two months and cost ~ $1100 ten years ago, but the car now idles and runs better than it ever did in the last 30 years! Ray Melton Las Cruces, NM 1957 300C cvt white/Gauguin “Big Red” s/n 3N572517 ************************************************************************************ daytona does a terrible rebuild job . absolutely terrible . You need to withdraw that recommendation Ron . l had a wcfb they “ rebuilt “ — instead of re bushing the worn shaft they wrapped .001 shim stock 360 around it , left the shaft worn ( the real problem with wcfb , is hole in carb body wears , causing erratic vacuum leak at idle ) Otherwise excellent stable carbs . this shim later got sucked sideways into throat ,the edge of it was holding throttle plates open such that idle adjustments did not work and varied all over the place . To add injury , the lack of a full close of throttle exposed the ported advance above the throttle plate to vacuum at times , advancing the timing , which raises idle “ depending” on moon light or not . Want a challenge? FYI on this, there should be negligible vacuum at idle in vacuum line on all mopars . — or more to the point ignition timing should not move as you connect the line at idle . Possible exception is ram cars . a design mistake there imho , no ported vacuum . This WCFB took me two long months to figure out , in and off 4 x , but did not stop them from collecting my 400 to throughly screw up my carb . not only don’t go there , RUN away . Crooks imho . They deserve this review. Kits from Mikes Carbs are really good and they answer your questions too . within hours The bushing reamer and new bushings are 39$ on ebay . You are 360$ ahead . Another vote for Daytona Carburetor kits. Or they will rebuild them for you. Daytona Carburetor sells kits.

Anyone have their carbs rebuilt by anyone lately? They gotta be getting parts and kits from somewhere.
