I have a nice demon carburetor now just sitting in a box.

Asked the guy if anyone might want to buy it and he said "y'know, I'll ask around, but everyone's doing these same EFI kits these days so I don't know how much luck you'll have..."

Purchased and installed for $1,700 (he even pressure tested and fixed up my AC while he was at it). Can't really beat that.

Gotta love finding a good shade-tree mechanic that you trust.

Yeah. I'd hang on to that guy.

I've got the same problem with our old stuff. We barely use it but it isn't worth a damn thing, so it makes good sense to keep it for the rinky dink shit we do rather than spend real money on something good.

But I'm working on Dad. I think I've got electronic ignition on everything now. He may still have an irrigation engine with points, but that's it.

I HATE POINTS

Sadly, the return line has a bit of a leak so I walked into the garage to the smell of fuel and a nice little oil/gas puddle under the rear of the car (since it burns a bit of oil, the gas mixed with the oil 'barrier' on the tank and it ran as a sludge). But that'll be easily remedied.

Great addition. One odd quirk that comes with the design and it's that you hear that 'slurp' sound you tended to hear when the rear barrels open on a carburetor a little more often. It's never bothered me, I kind think it's a cool sound, but it's a little more prevalent due to the design of the venturis and how it pulls in air.

Small price to pay for a car that I sit in, turn the key and then just back it out of the garage.
Awesome! I knew you would love it.

I assume the exhausts smell is much cleaner now and not all rich and fumy?

Hard to tell. I switched to 5W-30 synthetic and that was a mistake. Too slick, too runny. With the 2-piece rear main seal, it started to leak a little oil again. And then with the gas leak coming from the return line, the garage smelled like it was an explosion waiting to happen this morning.

I expect after I get that line patched up and get the oil switched back over to 20W-50 conventional, the oil/gas smell will largely clear up. Then I'm going to replace the bearing in the steering column so the damn rattle stops and it'll be in pretty nice shape.

Still wish it had more responsive steering rather than the old-school recirculating ball setup, but with the new upper control arms in, even that's become less of a concern. Every year I drop another $1k on it and get it closer to what I'm after. It's been paid for for 3-4 years now so might as well get it to what I want it to be. Since the wife's making me get an SUV, I'll want to have this guy on hand for days that I just feel like putting my foot in something...

You can pick up performance steering box for that thing for well under $1000 I am fairly sure.

Well, yeah.

But like I said; I pretty much get one new toy to add to that thing a year (and I'm already putting new wheels/tires on it "for safety purposes") so I suspect that'll have to wait...
