Milt,
Last year I installed the Pertronix kit in my 67
GTO. It made a noticeable difference in the the car. It still had
an erratic miss in it though, so I asked Milt to redo the distributor.
He performed a total rebuild, reset the Pertronix kit, the put it
on a distributor machine and set it up for my engine. Once I reinstalled
it, set the timing at his recommendation, some fresh plugs, and some
racing fuel, I took it out for a ride and gave it a few burst, both
from a roll and out of the hole, there was now a really big difference
in it's performance. I am pleased with the work that Milt did for me,
and would recommend this service to others.

Milt,
I just wanted to send you an e-mail to say
that my 64 Goat has never run so strong. The work you did rebuilding
the distributor and the carburetor definitely made a difference in
the performance. I've had the car for six years now and it has
never run like a GTO should, until now. Thanks again and best
of luck to you.

Milt,
The work you did on my distributor really paid off.
I never realized what a properly curved distributor could contribute
to an engines performance. My 65 GTO now runs like it did in 65, and,on
pump gas no less. Prior to having the distributor recurved I had a part
throttle ping. The only way to eliminate it was to add a little expensive
racing fuel. With the distributor recurved the ping is gone and I don't
need to add racing fuel. Engine makes great power from idle to red line.
I am very satisfied with your work and will recommend you to my fellow
pontiac friends.

Jim,
It was great to meet you this past weekend.
Your dad asked me to send you show pictures of my gto to include in
his web site. Pat and I are the fourth owner of this 48K original
mile, number matching GTO. Only improvements I have made are carpeting,
rebuilding the engine and transmission, upgrading the suspension, and
a ground up restoration to the original May fair Maize paint.
Your dad has performed his magic on the distributor and center carburetor,
as well as setting the timing. I want him to also take a look
at the front and rear carbs as well. Attached are some pictures
for you to use. There is a bird in the background on some, no not
a Firebird but my Thunderbird.

Milt,
Just got my distrubutor last week.
It looks great. I put the combo in the car. Zoom!
Works great! You did the work on time, exactly as you said
you would.
I will post a "Text Topics" tech article soon on my website.
There will be several pictures detailing my experience.
Till then, here is a "Before" picture...http://UltimateGTO.com/restoart/miltbefore.jpg
Here is an "After" picture...http://UltimateGTO.com/restoart/miltafter.jpg
The car is smoother at idle now with the reworked distributor
and new Flamethrower coil. It is easier to keep it running right
after start-up too. And the car has smoother power.
Today I also noticed that I could turn down the idle screw a lot more.
Now I don't have to mash the manual brake down as hard to keep it stopped
at a stoplight. Nice improvement. I also notice
that the car no longer has a rough totally random-sounding idle.
Thanks!

Milt, Jim,
Thank you for the work you performed on my 1967GTO. The re-curve
of the distributor and the rebuild of my Q-Jet have really helped the performance
of my car. I have the initial timing set on 10 degrees BTC. This really makes
a difference when you "get on it" from a roll or off the line. I really appreciated
talking to Milt about problems with my parts, and thanks for taking the time
and going out of the way to find the parts I needed. Just to talk with a living
GTO performance legend, and to find out he is really a super nice guy was
worth the price of the work alone. I will proudly display my certification
sheet next to my original window sticker!

Dear Milt and Jim,
After having my stock carburetor rebuilt and distributor re-curved
and upgraded with electronic ignition by you, I can say that my 1970 Judge
has never run better since I've owned it. It idles very smoothly and runs
like a properly tuned Judge should. The power is better, very smooth and
consistent and the engine doesn't hesitate or bog like it used to. It's hard
to keep my foot out of it, those secondaries open with a snap and it's so
much more enjoyable to drive now. Thanks for the beautiful job you guys have
done.
