Who is Lars ?
« on: February 01, 2025, 12:00:30 PM »
I know he posts on the corvette forum . Says he is a professional beer drinker (I guess that is a joke)

Is he really 93 years old.

For newby Q-jet learners like me, I found a good article Lars has, explaining Main Air Bleeds MAP, and Idle Air Bleeds IAP, and Idle Fuel Restriction IFR and different year range carbs '60s -'70s-'80

Lars is a HUGE Corvette guru and a carburetor and distributor rebuilding/tuning expert.

He's actually a retired aerospace engineer currently dedicating a lot of his time to providing information on the Corvette Forum and providing carburetor and distributor rebuilding services.

We've been doing business together for many years now, and he uses my Quadrajet rebuild parts in his builds.  We also converse on an almost daily basis sharing information back and forth.

Even though I'm retired from rebuilding/restoring carburetors Lars is still taking in some of that work, most of it for Chevrolet applications, and specializes in Corvette carbs and distributors.

He also does a good many Holley carburetors for them as well.  He can be contacted thru the Corvette Forum by PM or email.......

Update, I was just informed that Lars is no longer building distributors, but still taking in some carburetor work....
