Hey Guys,
I'm torn. I love these classic cars, but the carbs stuff is very new to me, and I've only ever driven fuel injected cars. The though of having to pull idle jets and get this and that different screw and whoosits to set it right is making me shy away from it. I just dont know if I should go for fuel injection, as it seems rather expensive. What should I do? I kinda would like the ability to set the fuel injection up and forget it, but at least carbs are dead simple, from a plumbing perspective. I would like some good power, but also a streetable car. Are carbs so bad that you cant rely on the car at all? |
