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? |

Yeah rhody, that tank is pretty bad inside. I'm doing the marine clean thing right now and there is just SO much sediment looking stuff coming out. I will NOT re-plumb the system until the tank is sealed with that POR-15 stuff. I just wonder what tape to use to plug the top holes so the stuff doesnt run all over the place. I tried duct tape and the marine clean just lifts it right off. I'm going to try that aluminum 'speed' tape tonight when i hit the tank with marine clean again. After that...the metal ready. The tank looks SO bad inside, sheesh. You should see the sender before i brasso'd the outside of it, what a mess. This car is turning into a whole lot of work! If I could drive it I'd feel less overwhelmed. Hopefully I'll get the tank back in and drive it again this weekend.
Would I see a performance gain just from the CB rotary? |
