But, but, but...it's the new cars that intimated me with complexity.
I'm fine with getting out of the car and holding my choke open if the engine floods.

Hell yeah i am too in fact i get a kick out of that sometimes... my point is "newbies" to the hobby who never worked on old cars might be afraid to get their hands dirty because they don't realize how awesomely simple these cars are compared to modern stuff.
