    Looking for PMO expert in South Bay area of Los Angeles

    I have a 3.2 that is running with PMOs. I'm happy with how the car runs in the 3k+ rev range, but I think I have a fuel feeding problem in the low revs, which are causing me problems at the start of my autocross events. I can't get a good launch.

    I live in Redondo Beach, and I'm looking for someone in the area who I can take the car to and dial these carbs in. Any suggestions are appreciated, as well as general comments from people who may know what the issue is.

    thanks

    What are you using for a distributor? Might be a timing curve issue.

    Hi Dave,

    Tony Callas at Callas Rennsport in Torrance is your man. Been going to him for over 15 years - there's nothing that he can't do. Even going to his shop is a treat. He's currently wooking on 2 real R's.

    TRE motorsports they set up my 3.2 w/PMOs. I think that is about a hour away if that works.

    Good luck

    Before you spend any money try turning each accelerator pump adjustment screw inward about 6 full turns. If that works, tighten some more. Do it carefully so you can get back to where you started if this isn't the problem.
