Default FE Tunning Help

I'm currently running a slightly cammed 427 with an Offy dual 4 with 2 Edlebrock 550's. I recently replaced the entire ignition with an MSD 6AL2, Pro Billet Distro and Blaster 2 coil. Car runs fine but needs a tune up. I have not mastered the fuel mixture or timming.

Does anyone know of any knowledgable tuners in the Tampa area?

And in the meantime, does anyone know what simple test/tune tools I should purchase to do this type of work on my own? Maybe a vacuum guage (actually thought about replacing one of me dash guages with one but thought the constant bouncing would be too annoying) or some sort of air/fuel mixture guage.

I think from some of the previous comments here I may need to swap the intake and carb. Not opposed to it if needed.

I'd like to continue to do all my own work but this has me puzzled.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Get an in-dash wide band A/F set-up and have them put an in-ground dyno in your garage... That should about do it.


...other than throwing the Ebok carbs in the 1st trash can you can find
