who? lol. If me, I really didn't say you can "never have too much carburetion", but in my video I said the myth of "forcing too much air/gas into the engine" is a myth, they are not turbos or superchargers... LOL

so I helped a customer yesterday and I'm going to be helping him for quite a few days it looks like taking his motor and why not his transmission out at the same time.. it's in a 65 Barracuda formerly a slant six. He's spent ungodly amounts of money over the years two different shops having all kinds of stuff done claiming blueprinted:rolleyes: and balanced hydraulic lifters with Harland sharp rockers LOL and TTI headers.. with less than 700 miles in over probably 7 years of owning the car it has what seems like a head gasket leak up front by the number one. Was told it could be the front header bolt but it's not.. can't get the head off with the TTI is in the way so we're looking at just pulling the motor and transmission and putting it on the stand. I don't know if the heads warped or what the hell is going on...
but anyways this little 273 has the biggest Holley carburetor I've ever seen in my life and of course it was Dyno Tuned and the plugs are blacker than night... I wish he'd throw a simple Edelbrock on there and we could tune it in.. It's an utterly ridiculous size double pumper it has to be like an 850 or something...
