Alfa Romeo Giulia 1750 GTV - Tuning by AG Classic Car Tuning

The above is a lovely example of a 1970's Aston Martin DBS V8 as tuned by AG Classic Car Tuning

The owner had recently pucrhased the AMV8 and shortly after noted that there was a significant smell of fuel, and on closer inspection the carbs were leaking fuel outwardly onto the engine.  Old orange residues suggest that this had been happening for quite some time.

So in a very safe controlled manner we cajoled the engne to run for just a few minutes and manged to get the ignition timing into the right ball park, ready for restart after the carburettor overhaul work had been completed.

The carburettors were overhauled in full....and I do mean in full!!   Including pressure tested, before refitting balanced as pairs and eventually into all 8 barrels including throttle opening syncgronisation.

Ignition timing optimised relative to the ignition advance curve with the distributor as fitted...idle, mid rpm and full ignition advance.
