Default Carb'd LS swap gets some publicity

Oh yeah.......and it's mine.

Hey guys, I just thought I'd let you all know that lsxtv.com did a short article on my 73 Camaro carb'd LY6 swap project. It was pretty unexpected and I thought it was especially great to get some publicity for us carb'd swappers. Here's a direct link to the article if you want to check it out:

Thanks man. I'm not sure why they chose to use some of the older pics like that though. I have more in my thread with the carb installed that look pretty decent as well.

Thanks! I figured they would blend in with the coil packs the best until I can move them behind the motor and run longer plug wires. I'll probably replace them with with some GM or PML covers.

And yes....you really got some great coverage on your build! Two thumbs up for promoting us "lowly" carb'd LSx guys!
