A friend and I were talking the other night about how fuel injection has become such a commonplace thing these days, and no one even mentions carburetors any more.
Was just thinking about the more interesting cars that I`ve owned in years past, and how many of them had multi-carb engines. Here`s a few: 1958 Chevy Impala ragtop (my first car !), had a 348 with tri-power 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix, with a 421 HO (High Output) tri-power 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport, Super Wildcat engine with two AFB 4-barrels 2 Corvair Corsas (a `65 and a `66), both with the 4-carb option `55 Chevy 210, heavily built 327 with a tunnel ram and twin Holleys How about you old gearheads out there ?

Any of you ever listen to Car Talk, on NPR? The show, whose hosts recently retired, was equal parts solid car repair advice, and hilarity. I'm not really a big car guy, but I loved listening to the show, because of the hosts Tom and Ray Magliozzi.The brothers are both Cambridge, Mass born and...
Who can do it?I am still trying to remember all mine, there was a summer when I owned 7 cars, none paid more than 50 bucks for. One had no floor at all. One you started with a screwdriver. Those days were better than these, no idea what kids drive anymore.
I was thinking about this again today having recently bought another used Axe-FX Ultra. I've owned both the Axe-FX II and Axe-FX Ultra multiple times in the past- sometimes at the same time. While the Axe-FX II has a TON of really useful new features, tweaks and capabilities along with progres...
What do you folks think about "Counting Cars"? To us it has been okay so far. I was expecting more of a "in the shop" show.
