The future of vehicles....

Here's mine: 1965 442 and 1968 Corvette

Good choices.

GM could hardly put a foot wrong during that era. Attractive styling, good performance and "reliable".

It was the points distributors. And the carbs...

It was the points distributors. And the carbs...

I used to do the points, condenser and timing in a very few minutes. I got good at that. But I only rebuilt one carburetor, the 2 bbl on my Ford 289 V8.

I think the GM carburetors were a bit more complicated, especially the 4 bbl ones.

Why? I actually own them.

I think we all own part of them. I just wish they would smarten up. It would be better to be part owners of a growing business.

Yeah, points were not a big deal nor was timing.
I still have my timing light and dwell meter from way back when.
Carburetor rebuilds weren't that much of an issue and I even rebuilt the Keihin three bbl on our '76 Civic with no issues. Just follow the instructions and be rewarded with a much smoother engine.
