Default Are there any sponsors in the Houston area that work on older motors?

I just bought a '69 Firebird with a 455 in it.

I know very little about the motor.

It is hard to start .. backfires, needs primed or starter fluid to get going .. then need a good 4 - 5 minutes of warm up before it idles ..

Can anyone recommend a sponsor that I could trust to look at it?

thanks

Not sure if they work on older cars but Gforce is in the area.

Have you tried HKE? I know they build motors all the time but not sure if they work on older ones.

Erik doesnt do tune ups and car mechanical work but if he needed a rebuild he could certainly do that but it sounded like he needed general help right now on getting it running.

You might have better luck asking on the Performance Years forums (http://forums.performanceyears.com/forums).
