I believe that those of us who are and have been in this hobby still have them...cr8crshr/Bill

Lean Burn that still works???????

Mine does on my original 79 Cordoba

(red heater hoses were immediately replaced upon my ownership )

 

[71RRHI]

I have two on my convertible.

 

[Outlawd]

All of my muscle cars have a carburetor or 2 on them....

 

[AR67GTX]

I have a couple on a couple. Both with dual point distributors too.

 

[Armyvet25]

I have some cars with Mopar electronic ignitions but retain carburetors on all, and prefer points......... It still runs like new.

my sentiment exactly

 

[Hey-O]

My lawn mower was running bad, so I asked a repair shop what's up. He told me, by the governments own legal definition, gas is no longer gas. Never store gas longer than a few months, it will go bad and take your carburetors with it, buy stock in fuel stabilizer. In all my cars, I only used 750 Quick fuel. My friend was a distributor for Quick fuel and had a dyno. He'd run in all the builds and things were great. This was my last carbureted car and a muscle doesn't need one to be a muscle car. I no longer get a kick out of playing with cars like I did, I do get a kick out of getting in, starting it and Letting The Horses Run. Time and age has changed me. Just the way I see it.

Most of all of my vehicles are carbureted except for my newer 12' Challenger R/T, 96' Ram V10 2500 and 2004 CTD Dually. I am old school by heart even though these old cars were before my time. I have always been a multiple carb guy.

2 carbs, 2 sets of points (Mallory) ........ even AMCs like it

some men are Catholics, others Baptists......My father was a Mallory man!

Even with the s-it gas we have here
especially the winter blend, a lot of ethanol content
(they lie too about how much too, s-it kills MPG in my modern EFI equipped daily driver too,
you burn 70% more fuel by % (from 5% to 20% ethanol it's a crap shoot) of it in the gas)

I'm constantly replacing needle & seats,
far more often than days of old
crap Ethanol blended swill/gas eats rubber lines & is very corrosive to aluminum too

Fingers crossed, I dump ‘Sta-bil’ in my tank all year long. And, carbs until the day I die!
