    Early 3.5 engine calibration

    Hi

    Any recommendations for a workshop in Sydney, which is good and knows how to calibrate an early 3.5 properly?

    Thanks

    How early a 3.5? An early 3.5 has Kettering coil and points ignition an two simple carburettors. What needs calibrating?

    I assume he means tuning and calibrating the carbs,

    Balancing the carbs on a non common manifold (Ie 2 or more carbs feeding discreet cylinders) is occasionally referred to as vacuum calibration.

    At least carby balancing and whatever else has to be done, so that it runs like a clockwork

    Perhaps it needs a new clutch mated up too
