There was a guy...in Davie. Had a shop behind the Costco on Univ/595. Older guy, hope he is still around!!

Pretty sure the guys at Redline in Davie can put you in touch with him.
Theres also a shop back there called Rage-Tek, they may know the guy if he's still around.
I watched him dial in my buddys 324" SBF and he literally predicated the AFR on each pull, and he was dead on.
That said, he went through the carb himself before it was installed so he knew what he was dealing with.


All that said, do yourself a favor and get a Holley EFI system
Just swapped a carb on a buddies 68 C10 with a Holley Sniper and not only did it seemingly gain 30 rwhp, it gets 3-4 MPG better now and, starts and runs the same, every day

It's really not hard to get a carb tuned. You just need to know what the engine is and the rpm you plan on running. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on an avs2 to see what they can do once dialed in.

I just went through the carb last night. It was really dirty. Going to drop the tank today and clean it.
I want really want to just get a truck intake and put a Termi X in it. When i got the car it was a stock 5.3 with the Carb setup already on it.
I later did the heads/cam and full suspension. The car had a QFT Slayer that leaked from every single gasket surface. The Holley that's on it now is one I rebuilt many years ago..

Nemo owned Rage-Tek, but the carb guy was at a different shop back there.
