    Any early S members knonw of a great mechanic in Dallas area?

    My car is driving me crazy. I have some good mechanics in my area but none of them seem able to get my car running right, and one in particular does a lot of work on early cars. Anyway, my mechanic is stumped and can not seem to solve my issue with my car. The problem with my car is that it runs great when it is cold, but once it gets up to temp it falls on its face. MFI has been ruled out, the distributor has been ruled out and the coil, and the fuel system has been gone over. If my local guy can not get it fixed I'm going to trailer it and take it down to Dallas.

    I'm about at that point.

    Thanks

    Sounds like you've ruled out all the probable causes. With your symptoms it would seem logical that it is either fuel or electrics but you rule those out.
    Why?
