Specialist classic car tuning with decades of experience

Classic cars need a different approach from modern vehicles. Carburettors, distributors, ignition components and mechanical fuel systems require specialist knowledge and careful adjustment.

With decades of experience working with these systems, I provide a practical, diagnostic-led service designed to identify problems and get your engine running as well as its condition allows.

Whatever the symptom, I can help investigate the cause and advise on the next steps.

Crypton CMT 2000: Specialist diagnostics for classic cars

The Crypton CMT 2000 is central to my classic car tuning work. Its diagnostic capabilities help assess ignition performance, identify misfires and investigate problems that may be difficult to find through adjustments alone.

Misfire investigation
Vacuum & exhaust gas analysis

Combined with practical experience, suitable vacuum gauges and exhaust gas analysis equipment, it helps me assess the engine’s condition before making adjustments.

The aim is to understand how your engine is performing, identify issues where possible and tune it to the appropriate specifications for the vehicle.
