I took my car to carb Connections yesterday in Totem Lake to have a dyno tune, I suspected my Webers were rich just like me after the tax check, anyway the thing is tuned great and no jetting needed however the scope does not lie and my Crane PS60 coil which goes with my Crane XR700 ingnition is only putting out 18,000 volts.
He suspects that is why my car is not running so crisply and I smell alot of unburned fuel. I ordered a new coil and hopefully it's here by Saturday. We did a compression check and all cylinders were 130 + which is good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

$95.00 for the Dyno
$75.00 for 1 hour $50 for a/f meter ? (don't know what the f*?") that is $239.36 now lets explore what I did wrong 1.Thinking there was no additional charge for the dyno the shop charge is $75 per hour 2.Thinking I needed the dyno , in fariness it did show the mixture under load was spot on. 3.Actually helping the guy (I am an outgoing guy) and diagnosing the weak spark for which he said "good call". things done. dyno compression check carb sync (I think thats the A/F charge) but why is it not part of the hour ? scope diagnosis which showed the weak spark. Things learned Carb Connection is a cool place with techs that love all kinds of cars they had a BMW Z3 M series that was up on a rack with engine out and a euro spec engine on the floor ready to be installed, John the guy who worked on my car said he had just finished putting cams in the engine. They also had a 440 Cuda (MINT !) and a Pantera (New Red paint) with a totaly built 351 Ford Windsor engine. I got to work with John and help with the Dyno which was cool, all and all I would recommend the process. Neal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
