Default Price of repairs?

Hey everyone, i finally decided that i am going to take my car to a repair shop. I was wondering if anyone knew a good shop to take it to in south Florida, in addition to what the cost of repairs might be. The problems consist of about 3 coolant leaks, one at the water bypass outlet and the other in the lower radiator hose. Additionally I will have them correctly install a distributer and tune the carb so it will run beautifully.

Can't help with a shop, I moved out of FL years ago. However, find a shop that can tune the distributor, or tuning the carb is a waste of time. I do distributors, and I have never seen one that was in Ford spec. Not used, not untouched, not remanufactured, not new. Out of spec distributors kill performance.

There is a shop in Boca that has done some work on my car. Vary satisfied. If you are looking for someone who knows his Fords, he is the man, if you are looking for a bargain, he won't be the person.

I can tell you he got my 4300 to run flawlessly, better than the 4100 that was on there when I bought the car.

If interested, send me a PM and I'll send back info.
