that sux. He's been around for ages and was one of the best around. The only person I'd take a car to for non-routine work when I lived in Newcastle. Sure there isn't just a relocation?

Thanks for the info!

Scotts really did do great work.

I can recall when I bought a new Ford Meteor Twin Carb it had a bad ping. Ford were talking about putting two head gaskets on it or drilling out the jets. I had a friend who had work done at Scotts and I took the car there. A regraph on the dizzy and the car ran great with full static advance and no ping.
