He's just a middle man. I want to deal with the shop directly that's doing the work.

Seth Haley at Haley Speed Innovations. I believe he's up in Oregon. Ducky Fuel Injection is said to be a great place as well.

Steady hand and a #80 drill bit and you're done. Pop test the injector after to make sure it's not leaking and holds pressure. Maybe do it before hand, might need to be rebuilt.

You may try Eric at THD anyhow. He's a good dude and may just put you in direct contact with his injector guy. He wouldn't steer you wrong even if you did send your injectors to him to have gone through/worked over. I'm not making any promises for him or giving you any expectations though.

not knocking him, just looking to take my business elsewhere. for reasons i won't discuss publicly.

I would not ask him to put me in direct contact with his injector guy. That would be asking him to give up his livelihood, as he makes his money by being the middle man between us and the shop doing the work.

If you were a fisherman selling to the markets, would you tell anyone where you catch your fish?
