It won't be a "rebuilt", but you could try your local auto parts store and
ask for the Edlebrock Performer Series carbs. They make quite a few
different ones and they can be fine tuned. The carbs are basically a
carbon copy of the old Carter AFB carbs. I put one on my 86 K-5 Blazer
about a year ago and it has been doing great. If you have a computer
controlled carb, you will have to replace you distributor when you replace
the carb. Any HEI setup from the pre-1980 or so V-8 should work fine. If
you have any more specific questions just ping me off list. Good luck.
