Default Carb kit suppliers???

I bought a so called rebuilt rochester carb for my car,a while ago.This carb has done nothing but run rich,& now lately started flooding,on the day that the car went for it's roadworthy test.
I have decided to have a go at rebuilding the carb myself.Does anyone know of a supplier of kits & carb parts.I have tried GM parts direct,but they do not ship internationally.
Appreciate any help,Neil.

You broke rule #1... never ever ever buy a rebuilt Q-jet. They are all junk. mis-matched generic POS. The best kit is echlin from NAPA. Get Lars Q-jet paper at www.corvettefaq.com

If NAPA does not ship internationally I can pick up one and get it out to you by shipping method of your choice.

Hey man,
I have a brand new one from Holley, I have no use for it I ran it for about 110 miles and then tore the car apart forgetting I had it and where I put it, and while cleaning out my garge I found it! I spent 350.00 on it, and would be willing to sell it to you for 250.00 if you are interested it is a Q-Jet if so email me at wgc_3@hotmail.com


Thanks,
Bill
