I've run out of time to get my 67 Ranchero running and need some help. Will pay going wage for someone to get my car running. Carb/fuel/ignition issues. Any good old school trouble shooters want to come out and give a hand?

The story - I did a complete rebuild during a restoration. 351 w, roller cam TW heads, roller rockers, etc. I've had it running for 20 minutes or so, but can't keep it running. Now it will turn over, but won't start. I'm out of time (moving) and patience.

Steve,
I used to live in Tucson and a place called Eastside Engine under automotive machine shops was a reliable place. They primarily do machine shop work and rebuild engines but they also used to do this sort of thing. I believe their number is: 520-746-1311.

first to look for is vacuum leaks. next make sure you have the proper timing, make sure fuel is getting to the carb.
