if you want a 1970 chevelle ss and all its inherent problems then by all means get a holley 750, mechanical secondaries and drown your poor little 302 in fuel.
If a 1970 Chevelle SS came with a 302, I will eat my own socks.

I say to the Carborated or Injected. Well think about it which is more efficient, and more importantly which do you know how to work on easier.

I personaly perfer injected cars because thats pretty much all I have worked on in the past 10 years. But I know carborated cars too. I found I can make more power reliably with a injected car than with a carb car. Why should I have to worry about the timeing when I can let a computer do that for me.

yanko camaros came with 302's.... i was just saying that old carb'd cars suck, and his poor lil 302 deserves better than that.

i realize that i made it sort of unclear, leave it up to a supra guy to nit pick.

you ever get a new front bumper for that thing? last time i saw it it looked like a buck toothed chipmunk with the i/c all hangin out.

Actually, most (maybe all?) of the '67 Camaros came with 302's. That's why I quoted him saying Chevelle, not Camaro. And by '70 they were definitely not in any production Chevy.

merf as usual your gettin way off point here..... i know damn good and well chevelles didnt come with 302s. the point was antiquated technology. not what motor came in what car nearly 40 years ago. i didnt want to use mustang as an example since they were built then and now and would only add to the confusion, chevelle was the first thing to pop into my head having owned one, and hating wrestling with the carb all the time.

as usual you are trying to nit pick and flex that little brain of yours. just like saying "someone succesful enough to own a supra" though your supra was a 19,000 dollar venture. get over yourself man.

the point remains carbs suck, efi does not. if im wrong go rip the efi off your poopra and put a couple holleys on there, or maybe some webers keeping with the import theme.

Actually, the thread stopped going anywhere useful, and I was just having fun with the example you threw out there, I knew what your point was, and I know you weren't trying to be technical with it...I was making a joke.

Continue to argue the same point back and forth.
