Carburetor rebuilds and performance tuning in Edmonton

Off the manifold, apart, cleaned through every passage, new gaskets, needles, seats and accelerator pump, floats set to spec, base jetting chosen for local air.

Then it goes back on the car and gets driven — cold start, part throttle, wide open, and a heat soak in traffic. A carb that only works on a bench is not rebuilt.

Points wear, drift and fail without warning. Electronic conversions hold a timing curve, start easier in the cold, and let a distributor be set once and stay there.

We do full ignition packages too — coil, wires, cap, rotor and a timing curve matched to compression and the pump gas the car will actually run.

Old tanks rust, old rubber lines swell on modern ethanol-blended fuel, and old mechanical pumps quietly lose pressure. Sorting supply before touching jets solves a good share of the calls that start with my carb is bad.

Parts only make power as a combination. An intake that matches the cam, a cam that matches compression and gearing, headers that clear the chassis and the steering, and an exhaust you can live with on a long drive.

We would rather talk you out of a cam than sell you one that ruins how the car drives on the street.

Edmonton sits around 650 metres above sea level and swings roughly sixty degrees between January and July. Air density moves with both, so a carb jetted somewhere warm and low arrives here fat and lazy.

We set it for the air the car actually breathes, and tell you what changes if the car runs summer shows and then goes into winter storage.

Carburetors, ignition and mechanical tuning are the core of this bench. If your build wants full EFI calibration, ask before you buy parts — we will tell you plainly what belongs in-house and what is better handled by a dedicated calibrator. Nobody wins when a shop pretends.
