Toaph,
That shop is off your list... I get it.
But just a different note after reviewing their quotation...
The Zenith-Stromberg 'choke' (enrichment device) requires two gaskets.
1) One internal for it's own rebuild, and
2) One between it and the carb body to install it on the carb.
Omitting either one results in a fuel leak.
The standard Z-S only includes one. You have to order the second one separately, and the shop's quote doesn't indicate whether or not they did that.
Regards,
Tim Engel

Quick update. I just got off the phone with their front office guy. He admitted that it's possible to replace the timing belt without removing the engine, but they prefer to do it the other way. He had also mentioned in our previous conversation that the carbs were "leaking." I asked where the leak was coming from, and he said, "The carbs." My confidence has dropped below zero. I'm not going to even let these guys check the timing. Game over. They're off my list for good.
