Default S. OH 327 specialist wanted!

I'm seeking the best Corvette engine shop in the southern Ohio area to tune my '65 327/365. My CF friends will know who the guru is!

If Bob Fall is still in business in Northern Ohio he is very good. Not saying he is the best but I knew him and he was honest and good. Bob used to teach Engine Rebuilding for Clevite and Sealed Power before opening his shop. Bob Fall Machine Bob may have retired by now.

FWIW...Send your distributor and Holley carb to Lars...NO ONE better for rebuilding and calibrating. Buy correct plugs, wires install them yourself. When you get the carb and dist back install. There is plenty of info in the "Sticky" section under C-1/C-2 FAQ. You can do this! Dennis

Apparently he's still in business: It's Fall Automotive Machine, Address: 3519 Jackman Rd, Toledo, OH 43612 Phone419) 473-1557

Thanks for the tip!

Many others have recommended Lars, so I sent both my carb and distributor to him. And I changed the plugs and wires to boot, but I'm still having problems (probably a vacuum leak, despite a new intake gasket), so at this point I need a professional.

Thanks for your advice!

Bob Fall would be a source for an Engine Rebuild, I can't say about the tune help needed.
He would be able to help with a manifold fit issue if it comes to that.

What problems are you having? Did you have the same problems before you made the current repairs? I am in East Central Ohio. JP
