probably one of the best known Quadrajet rebuilders/tuners known to man. From what I hear. Haven't had the privilige of letting him do mine yet. Maybe I'll get a discount with the plug. 
Seriously though. Well known tuner

Lars is not a place, it's a person.
He is a member here on CF that is known for being a very good "tuner" plus rebuilds carbs and distributors, and he has also written a slew of various tech articles that many of us find very helpful

Lars is THE man. Period.
I had the opportunity to sit through some of his "class" and watch him as he worked and it was just awesome.
Even if you can't get in to have him tune your car just going to watch and listen is an AWESOME opportnity to learn.

Lars is a mythical place that is supposedly located at the top of Mt. Olympus. It seems that old, retired carbs flock there to visit the much talked about fountain of youth. Legend has it that once a retired carb find this mythical place, that they feel young again.
