tom wood redondo beach/torrance area yellow/white 1967 bus

[Dubbers Toy Box]

this guy bugs you & bugs you until you bump cars to get his yellow & white 1967 bus into the shop to try and resolve another shops issue.
He sits there and closely watches you do all of the work. rides along on test drives, tells you how much better it runs etc and then charges back his credit card 10 minutes after leaving the shop.



it turns out he has a 3.88 & .82 4th gear with tall tires in his bus & his engine is a BUG designed 1776 engine with a lightened flywheel and wrong camshaft. but someone stuffed it in his over geared BUS.
i talked to the company that supplied the engine. The engine is from 2015 (so its 6 years old) comes with a 1 year warranty (well out of the warranty period) and he didnt even purchase the engine, it just came in his bus. and he thinks that the engine company should warranty the tuning issue he is having.

typical dousch guy that thinks everyone else but him is wrong and screwing him. when in fact, he need to be pissed at whoever sold him the bus that he bought off of bring a trailer.

throttle linkage was only opening about 50%,
we modified some stuff and got it top open about 85%.

it came in with the timing set at 40° at IDLE.
the china 009 distributor had such a long advance curve in it that at 30° full advance, it was at 1° after TDC at idle.
we installed a magnaspark distributor with the advance curve set up like a bosch 010
synchronized the carbs, adjusted the mixture, adjusted the linkage.

the next day he came back and every screw on the carburetor had been played with, 1 mixture screw was open to 4 1/2 turns, the other only open about 1/2 turn, the idle speed turned up on 1 carb about 2 turns & the timing was set back to 40° at idle.

so on top of everything, he is one of those guys that need a lock on his decklid and not allowed to have the key,
