hi l69 buddy ;)

where did you get that carb? looks pretty new?!

could use one too :D

[jaimegmr]

I had it rebuilt one year ago. It was taken apart and dipped in a cleaning liquid. Comes out clean and shiny.

Nice car! It looks great. Do you know where I can find some wrap-around louvers for the rear window like yours? Are they Craigar's?

[jaimegmr]

I believe so. They are the ones it came with from the factory. I would suggest looking for them on eBay or maybe you can buy it from someone at a third gen fbody site

[wombatppc]

Looks like my engine. So maybee its the same as yours.? Though your carb looks much cleaner than mine. :-)

Nice Jaime. Keep it stock. Looks retro.

@TheButtWormQueen Well, it's not silly at all to mention! And yeah, I agree, this engine sounds just right at idle. :)

But I can tell you, some of those aforementioned car enthusiasts are running custom camshafts and other intense modifications and as such, their engines would, simply put, just not run well at all at normal idle revs. Some of those modded engines would not even stay running at normal idle revs.

[TheButtWormQueen]

I know it seems silly to mention, but so many car enthusiasts have their idles set too high. Yours is just right.

please don't do it, the L69 / HighOutput package getting rarer as mentioned and there are sooo many LG4 TAs out there that could be modded or swapped ;)
