The new carb’s on the way! The new carb’s on the way!

Posted by TFG on November 11th, 2008

This one goes on the Big 10 454 - the river runner:

Carter AFB, 600cfm, electric choke. I so bad want to buy an intake manifold for it, but not yet. Gotta rebuild the trans first, or buy an overdrive 700 from the junkyard. I peeled off some more trim today, too. In my drunker moments, I think I should just sand it down and paint the whole damn thing in wrinkle black. That would be funny, to me, for about 10 minutes. I wonder if there’s like a 5- or 6-peed manual I can slap in it. Gotta be, no?

No, I ain’t feeling any better — business is drying up. People are scrambling. Gotta scramble harder, all there is to it. I sure picked a fine year to go into business for myself, didn’t I?

    Your gonna have one hellavu nice ride, when that all comes together.Think you might be happier with the 700,it’ll probably apply the tourge better? and if you ever twist your left knee,(speakin from experience)you can still go like a bat outta hell.That black don’t sound bad,or you could do like my drinkin buddy,& give some spray cans,brown,green,black,etc.to the Grankids and turn em loose.His old Dodge does have an O-riginal paint job.Think maybe business will get better for all of us,least I hope the hell it does.
