Who is still driving a carbureted engine and, what does it feed?

This, a 455 with a quadrajet! This engine develops a lot of torque. I really baby the car but if you get on it hard it is sideways.

1966 Ford Mustang Convertible. Completely restored by me over 5 years. Current has a carberated (4 barrel) 289 but my next mod is to put fuel injection on it.

I'm working on one right now. It's off my boss's 1985 Jeep Scrambler. He said it started running rough, then he parked it over a year ago. Now it won't crank.....

So a complete rebuild it is.

Other than mowers the only carbureted vehicle I have now is this 1993 R100R which has 2 Bing 40mm carbs.

No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

More beautifully made carbs. A friends brother was hooked on English made sports cars and learned the ins and outs of tuning multiple carbs, which many mechanics wouldn't work on. I actually never gave thought to a BMW having carbs.

Wow. Beautiful Olds. Had 1 Cutless as a winter driver so my TransAm would be garaged. Later, had a '98 with 307 which developed a small hole in one air injection tube.

A lifetime or two ago I was a factory trained mechanic working for the Triumph/BSA West Coast distributor. Makes wrenching and parts easy; I only need to know how to fix one kind of bike.

You have all those? Whoa!
