Eric Jackson is a carburetor genius. His work is second to none. If you're thinking about having your carb restored or rebuilt, save yourself time and money, have it restored by Eric.

This is the carb off my L72 Corvette. I had the unit restored by Holley a year ago and it was restored incorrectly with a thick-paint like finish. The base plate was a gloss silver and the screws inside the primaries and secondaries were changes from flat head screws to Philip’s head screws. They also changed the idle cam from the correct white-ish-green to a dark blue unit. I was less than happy.

Eric is a true gentleman! I needed the carb back within two weeks and Eric had it back within five days. Beat that.

His work speaks for itself. THANKS Eric!

I second that....he talked with me a couple of times on the phone answering all my questions and has never made a dime off of me. Some day that will change though because I want him to restore my carb when my budget allows. Eric, you are a craftsman and are very knowledgeable and a true gentleman!

I'll 3rd everything above. Eric hooked me up with the correct carb for my 77 Z/28.

I also forgot to mention that Eric's prices are very fair compared to alternatives. I spent $500 at Holley and Eric came in cheaper than that.

Thanks again Eric.

Eric Jackson's character and integrity are second to none. Eric took time to help me locate a survivor "4346" Holley carburetor a few months back w/o charging me a dime.
After purchase, I sent it to him for a rebuild.
Awesome Job Eric!!! You are the carburetor Jedi. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Just got a 3310 Holley back from Eric that runs perfectly out of the box. (How the hell did he set the idle dead on ?) Super fast turnaround. Wow........what a hobby it would be if all the outside services worked like this guy. Thank You.

Eric single handedly rescued a family of 5 from a burning building with one arm the other night,and on the way out discovered who the father of Anna Nicoles baby really was.
And and he does very nice carb work too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
