    Long Island area carb guy

    I tried them. He quoted a fairly high price to "try" and tune it. He wanted to sell me a holley double pumper. Not sure i want to go that route with this car. It's nice to cruise past a gas station once in a while. I'm in Lindenhurst.

    Long Island area carb guy

    I for the life of me cannot get rid of my off the line bog. Does anyone recommend a shop i get an eldebrock carb tuned? Every place I call wants to sell me a holley or they say they can't guarantee to fix the problem. I'm willing to travel pretty much anywhere at this point.

    Looking for a carb guru long island ny

    I didn't know Allstate carburetor was still around! I used them many many times going back 20 years though. Thanks for that video, seems like a good place to start but it runs so well other then that wide open hesitation I would be afraid to mess anything up. I think this time time I may send it...

    I don't know, I'm not against new technology but I never had issues with a regular lead acid battery. I had a few optima batteries in my boat and had a failure after a year on the first one and a then the other failed after the second year. Maybe it was old stock and they replaced them under...

    I got on it a few times with my son in the car. Needless to say I may be able to finally sell my 77 f250 that he loved more then anything. He refused to let me even talk about getting rid of it

    Don't tell the authorities but I couldn't stand to see it in the garage all filthy. So I threw some plates on it and drove 3 blocks to the car wash. I better get used to talking to about it.

    I'm sitting in the garage now. Just unloaded some parts and am wondering how I'm going to wash and wax it in these freezing temps. Oh and with a bourbon in hand

    How can I change the name now? That would be like an actor or actress changing their name after they are famous. Only person I know that worked for was Muhammad Ali lol. That lift would be awesome I will own that one one day. Need to figure out how to have it lift into my living room though so...

    Yeah the house is up fairly high. Water never made it to the living space only the basement. I'm only one block south of Montauk so fingers crossed i should be okay. Thanks for the offer! Hopefully it doesn't get to that point.

    I'm not opposed to smoking some meats and drinking some beer or bourbon with you guys. The uber ride my be a killer though. I'm one of the smart people who bought south of Montauk highway after Sandy lol. So far I've been lucky but I have an escape plan for my cars if another storm heads my way.

    I will be taking extra good care of Grimace. A 73 Dart with a slant 6 was the first car i bought with my own money when I was 17. I've been trying to get back into one for a long time but it never seemed to work out. Either I had no money or there were none available that gave me that vibe...
