AJIP has been serving the hobby since 1972. Unlike most vendors, AdIP actually uses its own parts in our shop restorations and projects. As a result we know if the part (s) are correct in fit and function. There is a lot of junk or substandard parts on the market today which AUP refuses to sell. All parts sold by AJP are fully warrantied. Additionally, AJP has one of the most comprehensive rebuilding programs in the industry today. When we rebuild a component, our goal is to return the part to factory specs or as close as reasonably possible. Below is the list of parts we remanufacture: We specialize in WWII, M-38, M38A1,CJ2 &3A, & all models of M151's. parts are tank cleaned, polished, inspected, resurfaced & recolored (if needed). Cast bases are reparkerized per factory specs. All metal parts are replated in zinc. Final assembled units are all then wet tested on a jeep engine for 10-20 minutes. All adjustments and run specs are checked before being approved. This gives AIP & the customer full confidence in final perfor- mance of the carburetor. All units are sold exchange. Standard price is $295.00 plus core of $150.00 NOTE: We will not sell either carbs or fuel/vacc units without a correct core.
