Tony's Recommended Parts and Repairers
 

I found that some repair shops are keen to help and some don't want to know you with old classic cars. If you live in Australia or Sydney particulary, these contacts below will be of great assistance and I personally recommend them due to our experience with our 69 and 66 Buick Rivieras.

* Justin turns 84 this year and knows old cars backwards. He set up the Lucas fuel injection system on my Triumph 10 years ago. Our Buicks were pinging so I tried everywhere to find someone in Sydney with a "distributor graphing machine". Justin has one and we recurved both the Rivieras' dissys close to original factory specs.     (see the PDF graphs here 66Riv and 69Riv)
I was also delighted at how reasonable his fees are, not to mention the pleasure it was to associate again with a true gentleman. He is a gem!
