Default Lars, Cliff or Henry

I need the quadrajet on my 72 rebuilt and it looks like Lars, Cliff or Henry might be 3 guys that can do it.

does anyone know their handles here? I found Lars but his mail box is full. Any advice here?

thanks

Any one of us can do a nice job for you - the three of us actually exchange info and stay in touch with each other. We each offer a slightly different range of services and pricing, but we all 3 use the same basic setup techniques, and we all agree on tuning principles and methods: We've all torn each other's carbs apart, and have found we all set them up just about the same way. You'll get a nice running carb regardless of which one of us you choose.

I've met Henry, exchanged many an email with Lars, and spoken on the telephone with Cliff.

They are all very, very smart.

I dont know the other 2 but its great to have this sort of help. This car is a lot of fun but I have always had one tuning issue after another. whe I made contact with Lars, I took his advice: I solved all the ignition issues to the best of my ability and then sent the carb to him. Guess what? It worked!!!

Tom -
Good to hear the car is running well for you - good job on the setup and tuning! It was fun having you come all the way down to Denver from South Dakota to pick up the carb, and I hope you can stop by with a little more schedule next time so we can sample some of the Corvette Lounge beverages...

Cliff is Cliff Ruggles with Cliff's Hi Performance. Henry is Henry Olsen with Ole's Carb & Electric in San Bruno CA. They're the only other two guys I would ever trust with one of my own carbs.
