| Hey all!!
Just thinking that since nobody showed for the last tune-up party last weekend that Id see if we can try again. That way we all have good rides to cruise to Angels Camp with.
I run Alta Sierra's Smog Stop in Alta Sierra and would be willing to open the gates for everyone to come by and do tune-ups, oil changes (we have a oil recycling site here), check tire preasures, brake work, and analyzer tune your carbs. Or anything else that you can think of. Let me no.
I would be looking at either Saturday day before the big meet and greet at Mel's or another evening next week starting after 5:30pm.
I would also be willing to get parts for those that need them. The only thing I ask is that you pre-order parts so I can get them here in time. Please let me know year and model of the vehicle.
Part costs:
Caps: $6.39-$7.89 Rotor: $5.29-$5.99 Wires: $16.19 Plugs: $1.44-$3.87 ea x4= $7.20-$19.35 Points: $8.51-$9.46 Condensor: $11.66 Coil: $28.64-34.75 Oil (Penzoil, Valvaline, or Quaker State SAE30): $5.36 a quart x4= $21.44 Screens: $8.74 Screen Gasket set: $3.25 Twist on Filters: $8.30
So if you replace everything listed above you'd be looking at $138.72 or less depending on quality of parts and what all you need or do. All the above pricing is cost plus 25%. If there is at least 10 vehicles that want to do the majority of the above parts I maybe able to drop it to cost plus 15 or even 10%.
Please either post here, or PM me to let me know when would be a good time and what parts you need me to get for you. | |

| Any takers on tech day saturday? If not Im going to stay home during the day and work on some other stuff. I will spend the day up here at the shop (about 50 yards past Larry and Lena's) if only one car shows. Im willing to help whoever get there ride up to snuff for the trip to Angel's camp. If nobodys interested let me know about evening during next week. I can always stay late. Shop closed at 6 but I can be here till whenever | |

| I know this could be a bit of a haul for you sac people.. but well worth it. No better way to set the mixture than on the machine. You don't get this opportunity very often....Sooooooo... let smogman know if you are coming. He lives in Roseville area, but drives his machine up everyday for work..
I will be showing up if we get others. Since I live around the corner, I get to bug him during the week so no need to make him drive up on Saturday just for me. But if we get at least one other, I will be over to fine tune mine.
Thanks everyone. Post if you can make this and what time you will be up here. | |

| I'm thinking I may head to the shop atleast mid day. Got the new Carb setup on the fasty and it runs!!! Fairly smooth. I think ill see if it'll make the 35 mile trip. So I can do some final tuning. If not....thank God for AAA | |

| Unfortunately I'll be out of town next week. It does sound like a great oppor"TUNE"ity especially for those like myself who are a little less skilled.
Thanks Again Smogman. | |

| Hey guys, just joined, so haven't made one of these tech days yet. But I will certainly take you up on it if for nothing but analyzed carb tuning! Dual Solex 32-34 PDSIT-2/3's are a constant fun | |
