I'm about to put an AOD transmission in my '67 Convertible. The conversion kit includes parts that connect the TV cable to the carbuerator.

Before I order the kit, I thought I should take my car somewhere and have the carbuerator properly adjusted. If, for some reason, a different carb is recommend, I'd want to do that before buying my AOD converison kit.

My car came from Colorado (I'm in Houston). I think it might be running rich, based on the fact I get something like 11 mpg. Plus, the car spits black residue out of the exhaust pipes - more than any car I've ever owned. If I let the car idle for a few minutes, I'll have a stain on my driveway.

Anyone know of any good carb tuning shops in the Houston/Galveston area?

i'm over in beaumont, and i'd be curious about the black residue issue, having the same problem but working on other things before i tackle it

Bump up.

the black residue when cold is condesation mixed with carbon. not neccessarily a sign of richness. but for being rich there's plenty of other things to look at other than the jets. anyway ... wouldn't any place with a chassis dyno do the job?

I cannot help much with a Houston shop, but there are some very good guys in San Antonio I could recommend if you wanted to make a weekend trip to have your engine dyno tuned. Mike Murrillo (Murrillo Motorsports), who is a somewhat famous outlaw 10.5 turbo mustang guy, has a nice shop in San Antonio with a chassis dyno. There are a few others I know as well if you are interested in getting a list in this area.
