Default Cortina pre-crossflow tuning Sydney

I have a 1500 pre-crossflow engine in my car and despite being in a smaller car than a cortina it feels like it is not set up properly and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of someone who is experienced with these in Sydney?

It has twin 40mm Webers, extractors, head was rebuilt and has big valves (I can't remember the spec) and electronic ignition. Cam is unknown and the engine runs ok, no smoke etc, just feels like it should be much better than it is.

Couple of pics attached.

I guess this is a bit vague but if there is anyone who you can recommend I'd appreciate it.

I'm in Sydney inner west.

Cheers

Thanks, It was tuned many years ago but never really had as much power as expected. I can't recall the timing but I think I'll get it looked at, thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers
