    I need someone who could set timing on a ford 233 inline 6 and 1950 ford v8 flathead. Cars are located near 10 fwy and la brea.

    Anyone know a good mobile mechanic or need a little extra cash?

    Just go into cl***i cars about. Year ago and I'm learning everyday. I want to have someone come set timing so I can learn how to do it. I'm enjoying everything I'm learning and its something I need done and want to make sure the car is running a smooth as possible and then if anything goes wrong again ill know how!

    I live in Los Angeles my fam all on east coast and they could help in a second. All shops around my way tell me they don't touch cars like mine. I got a few buddies into cars but they all dropped in bigger engines and nobody I know is familiar with flathead and inline. Yes times have def changed.

    You mean 223? Get yourself a timing light, a 1/2" wrench and a book. Its not too tough.

    I was 14 or 15 when I started using a timing light. What CAN you do? can you do brakes? I bet you are fully capable of figuing it out. It's not rocket science. But I understand the fear of messing something up. Youtube that ****.
