I have a friend who bought a sunbeam tiger; it has a 260 ford v8, 289 cam, and I think a holley 4bbl carb. It was tuned for sea level and probably not very well, but just needs some jetting for the elevation we are at... anyone know where they tune muscle car carbs in town?

Westers Garage in Tilley is said to be very good. Problem is, that in Calgary... everyone is driving fuel injected, computer controlled vehicles. You want a good old-school mechanic, you need to go to the rural area's and check out some of the small shops. Or....... go to a drag event and talk to some of the drag racers and see where they take their cars or who they would recommend........ talk to the guys with the 60's cars.

Deltech still does the old school stuff, and still has a distributor recurving machine, not to many people have them anymore.
Almost forgot about Westers..

Ryan Brown Performance on the Lyalta rd out towards strathmore is the best carb tuner around and has a mustang dyno.He is pricey but well worth it.
