I chose Sal Cicala to bring my Holly 885 carburetor back to life. (1950 Mercury)

Besides sitting for 20 years it looked like someone sprayed it with undercoating.

It was returned looking pristine - like new and functioning like new. (I had a 50 Merc back in the day) I followed Sal's advice not to adjust anything. Bolted the carb in place, ran the electric pump a few seconds, and the engine started immediately and so far hasn't needed any tweaking.

I wholeheartedly recommend having Sal do your Ford/Mercury carb work. His email address is [email protected]

Paul, Thanks very much for the kind words and recommendation. It's very much appreciated !

Paul2748, no I don't have a website. Just business cards and flyers for shows and swap meets. This helps supplement my retirement from Ford. Could use more business, but don't want to be overwhelmed with jobs. Just a one man operation.

Paul Bennett had a typo in my email address. It's [email protected]

My phone is (586) 612-1650

Thanks again, Sal

I had Sal rebuild the teapot carb in my 52 Merc. I can't say enough good things about the transaction or his workmanship! I highly recommend him!
