QUESTION;; CAN A LOCAL ENGINE REBUILDER DO AS GOOD A JOB AS MOYER?

Yes. I have done this, twice (don't ask, but it wasn't the Atomic 4's
fault, and now I have a spare). Total cost to me: $1,200 Cdn. There is
nothing about an Atomic 4 that will faze a competent gas engine
rebuilder, particularly of cars from the 40s to the 60s.


The problem is that it is harder and harder to find someone who knows how to
(competently) work on these things. If they can't hook a computer up to it
and get a diagnostics printout, they are lost.

It's a shame because those A4's are real gems.
