Where can i get an 80's corolla carb rebuilt?

[madking411]

i have an 89 corolla and it NEEDS a carburetor rebuild cuz it sputters and sometimes shuts off, and im not gonna just get a new car, so plz dont go there...:no: I want to have the carburetor re-built, but i have no idea where to get it done other than the Toyota dealership, but they like to charge CRAZY prices, so does anyone know where i can get the carb re-built in the Duluth/Norcross area for fairly cheap?

Dont listen to idiots. Here's an exerpt from an article.

http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Overview-c4174-1989-Corolla.html



Not much changed for the 1989 Toyota Corolla, since it had just been redesigned the year before. Toyota abandoned the hatchback FX and made the sedan available with All-Trac. The 1989 Toyota Corolla came in many body styles with several trim levels. The sedan came as a base or the

better-equipped LE. The wagon was available as a DX or SR5. The coupe came as a SR5 or GT-S. All Corollas came equipped with a DOHC, 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine. The sedans, front-drive wagon and SR5 coupe had a carbureted 90-horsepower engine; the All-Trac wagon had a fuel-injected 100 horsepower engine, and the GT-S had the most powerful with a 115-horsepower EFI version. Fuel economy is about 25 to 35 mpg, depending on the engine.



And oh wait...here's several carb's from the actual car!

So yes, you are probably right that your car is a 1989.

alright then. Especially seeing as how its a DX sedan and my mom purchased the car in 1989....btw, is it a little cheaper to just have the carb rebuilt?? cuz, the carbs that are on ebay wont help me very much unless i can find someone who knows what they are doing and can install one of those OR rebuild the one i have in the car...So, thanx for the help IDriveToast, but i still need the name of a shop or something like that to help me some more...
