Doesn't really matter where in the UK, but preferably Midlands way.

I'm looking to use it for a diagnostic/tune up so they have to know a little about setting up older cars (RWD) as opposed to just using it for a dyno read out...

Thanks in advance

Not sure where he's based now (used to be Cambridge), but Peter Baldwin is good.

Try Aldon Automotive, based in the midlands – really good with RWD stuff. They still make performance distributors, and the boss used to rally a Cosworth-powered Mk2 Escort.

I have heard alot of bad things about Aldon in the past.
I have always took my cars to Hi-Tech Motorsport in Cradley Heath. Mick there seriously knows his stuff.

Pete Baldwin is 'the man' with anything running carbs.

If you want to have a true power output I suggest you try Abbey Motorsport and their Dynapack chassis dynamometer - best there currently is - and its not a rolling road!

Mike Barrett in Lincoln, 01522 545189. He is my engine builder and he's used to weird and wonderful vehicles. The dyno is in the unit next door to him, at Paul Goy Racing, but he has full use of the facilities.

Good Luck.

I've been down to john Noble's again in chesterfield for a cerbera power run - got their new software installed allowing overlay traces of a whole bunch of parameters in boost pressure / mixture / coolant and air temp (before and after intercooler on turbo cars), fuel pressure - you name it and it can probably trace it. fantastic. Saw the highest figure ever recorded for a cerbie engine whilst there too .. won't give the figures away cos it's due for a Sprint article but I'll just say i was gobsmacked by the result!
