Default Sean Murphy Induction closing down

SMI carburetors posted on Facebook April 15th that they were closing. Hate to loose another good carb shop.

He worked for Brad Urban at the Carb Shop way back when! Had him recolorize and freshen two different pair of dual quad Holleys.

I think he actually closed the shop last month.I stopped by to check on a carb he was going to do for me.It was in a box and apart and he gave it to me and told me he was closing the shop.I think his health was not good.I have know him for about 25 plus years.Always did great work,he would make a visit if I had a engine on a local dyno to help with the tune.He had moved to a new shop across the street where he had been for year I and our hobby will miss him.I wish he well.Tom
