Need to thank Lars (again)
I drove my 78 to work again today and I am just amazed at the difference since Lars rebuilt my carb and helped me adjust my timing.
Before, every time I floored the gas, it would bog and/or misfire and almost stall.
I must have floored it 20 times from a dead stop and on the fly today and not a single sputter or bog. It takes off (like it is supposed to)!
I feel like I ripped Lars off by only paying him $25! Thanks again Lars!!!
I still want my money back from those fools who "rebuilt" my carb the first time.

Re: Need to thank Lars (Rhys)
Great to hear that it's working right for you!! I have a Forum member carb coming back to me tomorrow for some "re-tweaking" after I missed the setup by a bit.... Every once in a seldom while I get one that doesn't hit the mark, but I'm sure glad yours is doing what it's supposed to do finally. Hope you enjoy it!!

Re: Need to thank Lars (lars)
I sure am enjoying it. It is very nice to be driving it again after it being apart for one thing or another. I am getting new t-tops this week and trying to fix some water leaks. It feels good to be nearing "completion". The cam change and carb rebuild really made it a different car.

Lars is 'da Man!
Lars, I've had a bit of trouble with my brakes lately. Hopefully will be fixed soon. I was hoping to have sent you my Quadrajet by now. I'll be in touch.

Yep. Lars is, indeed, da man. If anyone on the Forum (and a few have) ever get to Colorado, you must check in with him. :yesnod: As a member of the "LarsGarageBums", I can vouch for the fact that he is "that" and much more in person. :D One very :cool: dude!
