How about Carburators. I Grew up on Holleys and Webbers, Mikunis, SK and remember when ''Fuel injection'' was introduced.

I used to have a 68 camaro as well. I have been thinking of a 69z28.. Lord willing I will find one in great shape.

Yep. Used to be a real piston head. Even ground my own valves, CCing and porting. Lot of time consumed in that.
Anyway, my dream car was the '70 hemi Cuda ragtop. Was a Mopar man for no other reason than that's what it seemed I always wound up with. But aside from the hemi I think Chevy had the stronger selection of engines.

Who here remembers the "push button" transmission controls? :-D

The car I drove in college was a small dodge station wagon and it had the push button transmission controls. I had trouble getting the car to go in reverse sometimes. The first car I had was a '58 chevy. I drove that when I was in high school. I also had a rambler convertable, but that one did not last very long.

I had a orange 70 cuda with a 340 engine in it. I raced a hemi cuda once. In 1/8 mile he could not get any traction. When he finally did get traction, he passed me up real quick though. The hemi was built more for power and did not really come off the line that fast.
 
I just did a thing on the Hemi engine' on another forum yesterday or Friday. Even though I was a Ford man except for certain Chevy's like the 396 and some others' I had great respect for the Hemi depending on which one you had they were hard to beat. And many of them you could not beat. Some of those Hemi's came stock with 425' 450' and 475' horse power engines. Oh and guy's I use to rebuild my own carbs also. Check out these links and the Holly one at the bottom. It is must see and read stuff. I also had did the Holly thing for another site' I think it was last summer.

The history of the Hemi engine. Very good stuff here.

I cant wait till 20 years go by, and I say "remember those cars with wheels? and when we used to have a few people driving those "stick shift" cars.


Reminiscing always seems to be very enjoyable so.
 
Oh, how I wish the high beams were still on the floor board.
 
Having a daughter who just turned 36 would make me feel old If I didn't know I'm only 39. Of course, I've been 39 since 1985. :lol:
