Haha there's alot of threads on here about carburetor and MSD help i think it would be a great idea. These carb setups are finally posting some numbers and they are pretty damn stout numbers. And the track times are amazing as well. Go carburetors Wooohoo

+1 again on the carb forum. Why are you posting here if you aren't running a carb? Just to start an argument?

for the sake of an argument? hell if i wanted to argue i would call up your ole lady.
if you look at the top of the page it has a poll, ok.
and one of the choices is
#3-I DONT CARE!!!
well i would fall in that category.
unfortunately there is not a category for you. which, would be
#4-I AM A DUMB *** AND I DONT KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT


and if it would make you feel better my 68 camaro runs a 427SB and a 950 QF
