Default Carburetor issues

When I first purchased my 1968 327/300 and brought it home I felt sure the carburetor might need some work. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience with Lars. I learned about Lars through the forum and he was happy to share information and I was able to get the car running pretty decent. I am fortunate to live just over an hour from Lars (he is in Colorado). I drove the car up and left it with him overnite. By evening I already had an email that the carb was done, he tweaked the timing etc. Not only did he do a great job but we sat down and had a couple of cold ones from his tap. He also was able to chow me how a prior rebuild attempt had broken the carb. Car's running smooth, now I just need to figure out a reason to go visit so I can steal another beer!
