“Impressive technology.
Mid blowing complexity.
Imagine the guys working on one of these rigs in 2036.
Compared to today’s 1996 vehicle.”

I was just out tuning my 667 Camaro today. Had to replace an accelerator pump plunger. I doubt I could fix the Porche.

True.
But there’s a fast declining number of guys who can work on carburetors too.

I had a lot of problems on my 67 Camaro.
Two rebuilts were as problematic as the one I had.
Internet says today high percentage of rebuilt carbs are faulty out of the box.

I finally had to break down and go over one piece by piece and make it right

A few years ago I had a bad hesitation problem with a car. I told the mechanic it felt like when you used to have a bad accelerator pump. He had no idea what I was talking about.
