Default L48 engine analyzer shop location Orange County, CA

Good evening,
Does anybody know of a shop that has an engine analyzer that will diagnose my 76 corvette L48 engine. (3 speed automatic) somewhere close to southern Los Angeles County /Northern Orange County.

The engine seems to run ok except it sucks gas even while driving moderate speeds. I also seem to smell gas while driving and after the engine is shut off. The tailpipes have no carbon buildup. The engine has only 65.000 original miles on it.

Thanks,
Bill Howe

Steve LuVisi of Automotive Expertise in Huntington Beach is one of the best Corvette mechanics..., bar none. Many on this forum won't take their car anywhere else. His shop is an eye-candy store.

If anyone local can figure it out, he can.
