 Hey, Don.
 
 I'm in Dallas, too.  Do you have a shop or anything?  I keep hearing you
 refer to your hands and all...
 
 If you do have a shop, are you fluent in synchronizing dual carbs?  I could
 sure use a hand (or a good mechanic).

Yes, I have a shop in Wylie, which is about 10 miles east of Plano. I have 
one hand 
who can help you. Give me a call at 972-442-6671 and we'll see what we can 
work out. He works exclusively on my cars right now. I own about ten cars and 
buses.
