What is a cast iron 2bbl intake worth

could be your mom drove a car during an era that fuel was formulated for carbs ?
What's wrong with the fuel now. I daily drive a carb with today's fuel and never have a problem. It's called tuning.

If anything this new fuel never gums up and will completely evaporate before it will ever clog anything up. Might be why we don't need that really caustic carb cleaner dip anymore
