A Carb.. Whats that!!!.. Would not know where to start!! never touched one! Lol... first engine was a 1.6L Golf gti 39 years ago!!!
You can certainly date yourself by knowing how carbs work.
I agree - I fine-tuned my calibration on my supercharged 2011 Mustang GT and all the stuff I'd learned when I was "the guy that does the carbs" for a buddy's race team when I was in high school came back to me. Getting the mixture and spark right were the easy part - I spent a ton of time on tip-in and smooth transitions from one part of the map to another. BTW, the buddy I mentioned raced a Cortina out of John Hall's Car Craft in the late 1960's when John Hall was a Ford-sponsored driver in Trans Am. The Boss 302 race car was quite a machine."OLD" is a date?
I think it's just sad that the young ones may never learn this part of motorsports.
Even for actually understanding how to tune a modern EFI car...I've leaned a LOT on my understanding of how carbs work to understand how to program specific parameters. It's not just hook it up to the dyno and O2s and hope for the best...or at least it shouldn't be.
So, let me get this straight - is the hole in the floor for driveline fluids or driver fluids?
