All of you guys..been in my position:

Hi guys !

since some of you were reading the thread that i started about thinking of swapping my carburator to a advance e.f.i system...the decision i took for now is to stay with my chokeless carb and to learn more about it ...( the mechanical way )

im 27 and im a mopar freak since the last 11 years ... my friend builted and sold me my duster 5 years ago and my dad builted my cuda when i was 17...but i have a normal life like all of you have , work , girlfriend , debts to pay , groceries , seing family ...things to do etc...

i never had anytime to go to school , to take my mechanic courses ...i worked full timeat a very young age to pay my cuda , and on and off i did a lot of small jobs to pay out my things .My good friend explained to me so many things since the last 5 years , i learned a lot , but i never add the courage of rebuilding a carburator on my own ... i never fixed a major problem myself on my car, never pulled of a engine etc... a lot of guys ( baby boomers ) were confortable of playing with old carburator engines in their driveway , but now in 2013 , there so many people that dont even know what a carb is ...i am a cleark in a chrysler dealer since 2 months and everyone is working on efi and computer controled engines etc everyone as a modern challenger , magnum , 300 etc.. im the only one stuck with old muscle : my point is , where can i start ... how to take care of my car myself , books ? do i really have to go to a school for that ..my dad was a bodyman not a mechanic..my friend is an engine builder but he as is own life to live too... cant call him every 5 mins if i break something on my car even if he helps me a lot when i need him , but im such a beginner that its hard for him to start from sratch , time is not always there for both of us ...

im kinda lost and lost in the dark by having a old muscle car that i dont know how to take care of ....being 17 and having dad around you is a thing but being 27 and being a working man ,,soon to be a father and wishing to raise a familly , and seing is passion in the driveway and being scared to play with it, its kind of frustrating.

thx a lot guys

ps: dont want to loose patience and sell my cars to buy a new camaro or challenger ... my passion always kept me from buying modern muscle , because deep down its the old iron that i wanna drive. period
