As the internet has evolved over the last three or four decades so have I, my working area now covers most of the UK (mileage charges apply)
My new customers constantly update me on how difficult it was to find an old school tuning specialist who knows what he’s doing, my passion for tuning classic cars is as strong today as it was when I started tuning cars back in 1983.
We offer classic car tuning services to private classic car owners as well as garages and restoration companies and classic car owner clubs. Mobile car tuning is available Monday to Friday, weekend work is available by appointment. The quickest way and cheapest way to get your classic car tuned is to bring the car to me for a while you wait service available seven days a week. If you can get two or more classic cars together, I offer big discounts for mobile classic car tuning in one location.
Most of the classic car tuning work I carry out is done using the Crypton tuning equipment, for fine tuning and balancing carburettors I use vacuum tools as well as high specification gas analysers.
I have been using my Crypton tuning equipment on a daily basis for nearly forty years providing a first class tuning service and diagnostic work covering ignition carburettor and mechanical faults delivering fast and accurate diagnosis with the dual channel digital Crypton scope. Electronic power balance tests identify individual cylinder performance assisting carburettor balancing and diagnostic tests.
Component testing on ignition and fuel injection systems using voltage and duration cuts down the diagnostic time dramatically.
A large proportion of my work involves carburettor tuning and balancing, below I have listed some of the carburettors I tune and balance on a daily basis.

What are the benefits of Crypton tuning your classic car. In simple terms a smoother running engine with maximum power and better fuel consumption.
The other benefits of having your classic car Crypton tuned are the many tests that the Crypton program performs, these include ignition system analysis identifying low voltage and duration problems leading to a weaker spark affecting starting and performance. Distributor advance curves , checks on the ignition timing advance devices such as vacuum advance and centrifugal advance and problems relating to managed advanced systems such as programmed maps and sensors. Ignition dwell, problems relating to points and condenser faults as well as electronic dwell setting. Coil output including DIS systems with wasted spark, low coil voltage and slow duration can affect both starting and performance.
Should any ignition faults show up on the automatic ignition tests these can be followed up with closer diagnosis using the Crypton digital oscilloscope with advance features able to video and play back misfires and duration problems.
Carburettor tuning and balancing, using a high specification emissions analyser including CO HC and O2 readings and the ability to measure cylinder output in a digital format plus the use of vacuum readings, we now have all the tools to balance carburettors accurately and diagnose the problems relating to high emissions and lumpy running.
Later classic cars with early Lucas fuel injection systems and Bosch KE Jetronic and LE Jetronic systems are all covered by the Crypton test equipment providing detailed diagnosis using the Crypton digital oscilloscope.
Cylinder condition and engine power balance tests are a very important part of the Crypton tune up, unlike traditional compression testing the Crypton power balance test provides detailed information where the power distribution is on an engine, this test is carried out with the engine running and provides us with individual cylinder performance, a great aid for follow up diagnostic work and balancing carburettors.

Yes, the Crypton strobe timing gun is very accurate and can set the ignition timing correctly even if the engine only has a TDC mark. All ignition timing devices like vacuum advance and centrifugal advance curves can also be checked
When you have multiple carburettors, they will need balancing for peak efficiency. Each carburettor is setup using a vacuum gauge, this will ensure all carburettors are working together as they accelerate and produce a smooth take up of the power delivery of the engine and keep the hydrocarbon gas levels low reducing wasted fuel.
