Lots of good info there and apparently he's putting out a good product. Seems a bit pricey, but if he's the only game in town, then he can charge whatever he can get.

Which does empty the cache. I checked again, and its still there, though the price is now $79, dangit, I payed a hundred bucks. But I 'ain't no nerd-box guru.

Must have been a glitch in there web page or something. I don’t think $79 plus $8 shipping is that far out of line if they replace the worn parts like the piston. What I do think is kind of pricey are the meds that my wife needs from the pharmacy to stay alive. Why deny a guy forty or fifty bucks for labor and over head when he has to dissasemble, clean, reassemble and test your unit! Since I'm an old retired dude and my labor isn't worth anything anymore, I would just as soom do my own rebuilding if possable. I wish rebuilding kits were still available for the wipers and water pumps but that’s not gonna happen. We're lucky we can still get parts to rebuild starters, generators and carburetors. Those may just dry up one day and just imagine what your gonna have to pay to send them out. Denny Graham Sandwich, IL

Last night after reading about his service I found his site and it clearly stated $79 plus shipping to rebuild. Tonight it's up to $99 plus $8 shipping. YIKES!! Hard to imagine why he went up because he's using old TRICO parts he bought years ago.
He's about to price himself out of the market if you ask me.

Unless he's the only game in town. Anyone know of another rebuilder or of anyplace that sells replacement kits/parts?

Danchuk, the 55-57 car guru is the only one I've heard of who has even the gaskets, which are specifically for 55-57
