Does anyone know of someone who specialises in carbs etc. who is local to me or indeed is able to come out to me. Im in the littlehampton\ worthing area.
My refurbishment is complete but i need someone more skilled than i to set up my carb and possibly timing, etc. My engine is a 71' 400 V8 with a holley 650.

Any ideas?

I don't know of anybody local to you but I would always recommend Robin at Autopontiac for Carb setup. He set mine up without having the car there and it ran first time (and well)

Then once I fitted it and I met Robin he adjusted the idle mixture to suit my engine better.

Is the car drive able?

Yes it is. My only problem is time, as robin is in Hounslow and i have a newborn baby! I would love to get it to him but i just can't at the moment! Im trying to have it running as sweetly as possible for wings and wheels.

Wrench Garage are based in Rustington on Artex Avenue.

The guy who owns it is called Ian and has done work on mine before, he has a 75 TA himself so knows the cars.
