IMO you'll be spending, and wasting a LOT of money with your plan to rent dyno time, and you won't gain anything from it but an empty wallet or big credit card bill. The popularity of the dyno and tuning for numbers is driven by the fact that the "Tuner" can quickly make changes to the fuel & timing maps on his keyboard to affect change, then immediately make another dyno run. For you, you'll be doing a dyno pull, then to change your timing curve you'll pull the distributor, change out springs, put it back in and set timing. To change fuel you're pulling the top off the carb, changing jets, putting the top back on, all while your paying for dyno time.
I'd dial in the fuel by making a WOT run through the gears, shutting down to coast to a stop and reading the plugs. Check around the old mechanics shops and find one that has a distributor machine and you're done - https://horsepowersports.com/distrib...ke-a-comeback/
I hope you'll come back and let us know what you find when you get into the engine. 36 sedan gave you two good old school rules to follow....Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
