It's time to start working on the chicken and I need some help from you all.. I had sent in my carbs to Holley and had them gone thru and replated. Now I would like to send the carbs and intake to a reputable shop to have them mounted and all set up on the intake.. Who would you reccomend ?

Thanks Randy

Assuming they did a baseline adjustment to them this should be an easy DIY. If you can't bolt them to the intake you should reconsider having a 6 pack car, as paying by the hour for tuning on this could get spendy...

Tuning isn't the problem Holley sent me the carbs back basicly im pieces, they plated them and installed the kits, the vaccum pods are new and all small parts are in bags. I don't have the fuel lines or linkage so it sure would help if somebody that new what they were doing set these up...Plus I don't want to send these to some Joe blow and never get them back

Thanks

bill Overcash on the board can do this for you easily as well. All the suggestions here are good, I would trust them all. Shipping $$ would make my decision for me.

I'd suggest buying a good Holley carb tuning book (there are a couple of decent ones, IIRC) and learning how to do it yourself.

The problem is... no matter how much somebody knows about your combination, there will usually be some need to "fine tune" the carbs / ignition, etc. If you can't do at least the basics yourself, you're at someone else's mercy. If they live hours away from you, what are you going to do?
