Someone to fine tune a tii on Peninsula?

[hegedus]

Hi,

I have a '72 tii that is generally running well with the exception of poor gas mileage. It is running rich, A/F in the 11-12 range while cruising at 65. The mileage is about 22 mpg and my commute is pure highway at 65 mph.

I have done the standard in the book stuff with the help of a trained professional (02 owner and mechanic by trade). I would like a real tii master to have a go at it. I know A1 and Casey but they are both in Marin and a bit of a pain to get to. Before I bite the bullet and take it there, is there someone on the Peninsula worth considering? I live in Burlingame and work in Santa Clara.

make sure you talk to at least 3 people who have recently had work done at the shop and can vouch for their work. don't take an old portfolio of finished projects as a sign that the shop.can reproduce that work to this day.

also forgot to.mention ask to check each shops license (if having any doubts)

So, did you end up finding a shop? Which one and what was your experience. This forum doesn't work so well without feedback.

Cheers,

Driving my 72tii to Petaluma (or getting towed) is a pain - but my experiences with Sean Casey Motorsports have been fantastic - highly, highly recommend.
