We run Solexes on the Porsche. I'm sure in the day my Uncle could do it- but that's no help to you now- sorry.

Bill McCurdy at William's Racing in Harvard Ma can also set you up. You'd have to pull the engine for his dyno though...

This past Sunday I got Bill Traut, Joe's father to tune them for me. Seems like we have a real nice baseline now. Now all I need to do is to get my GTM straigthened out so I can take it to Mt Tremblant!

We had a great experience on the dyno at KTR in Ayer, MA.

He has a guy who does Webers, and a guy who does SU's. He's getting better on Strombergs after mine....new needles made a world of difference - no more 4500rpm miss.

Among other beasts he had in his shop (over 100 cars) there were 3 Allards, 2 Sterlings, an AH3000 that won Sebring, about 12 Lotus, about 20 Porsche of various degrees, and a gorgeous XK120 with the 3-Weber 4.3L set up. Also had several full F1 cars.

Not to leave Stephan out, there were at least 6 Italian assorted's...it's worth a field trip just for the history if nothing else.
