perfect 1971 2002 barnfind 18,000 miles, what to do with it?

[gastephens]

Injection is superior to carburetion, from ANY perspective.

aesthetics are subjective!

I agree. Would you rather look at a fuel rail or these bad boys?

All this blather, but still no pictures of this "barn" find?

Aesthetics are subjective, that's true. But comparing a triple weber to a fuel rail is like comparing multiple throttle bodies to a single barrel solex with the air cleaner on top.

I am still waiting to see if this barn-find 2002 we are waiting for has "pretty" carburetion or just the common plain-looking kind.

new title came in yesterday, car is paid for, truck and trailer are chartered, will have the car home tomorrow!!!

im so excited.

but u still didnt anser my question.....

can i throw my 14"bbs wheels off 87 e30 on it before i try to move it?

will they fit?

i dont want to mess up the original wheels just winching it onto the trailer.

where is the best place to jack under these cars?

[fasteddie]

injection is supperior to carburetion... on pavement/in theory

yes you will get some more power, and better economy

i like the simplicity, too much stuff to go wrong with FI

when im beatin my truck acrossed untamed fields or down 2-tracks im glad theres only 1 gas line with a tenth the pressure and no wires.

and yes the edelbrock is beautifull.

[eurotrash]

Yes. Provided the tires are 195/60 ish and no bigger. But it should roll on most any tire for e30.

Keep armor all away from it. John

+1 to that....just becasue Armorall spends tons of money on advertising doesn't make it any better! It's lousy stuff, unless they've upgraded it. Use Vinylex on your vinyl interior.....you'll be glad you did.

[bueller]

SOT, but i used to use armorall for my tires, but they changed the forumula. it's more gel-like now and the shine is very dull compared to the old stuff. and even says "original forumula!" on the bottle. ha! gotta find something else.

OK, so it's tomorrow; how about some photos?

I don't know if it has been mentionned before, but the 2002 odometer doesn't register past 99,999. After this marks, it returns to zero. Therefore, unless the mileage has been meticulously documented for the past 40 years, that low mileage can well be 118,000, or 218,000 miles. Or the cluster could even come from another car. Always be skepictal of declared mileage. It is the oldest trick in the automotive world. ;-)

[jp02ti]

i think the worst trick, though perhaps not as old as "low mileage" would have to be "rust free, new paint"!

oh yeah, its today, can we see pictures now?

[hanksjim1]

Hey Fast Eddie...so what did you get? You got any pics?

[Scott Sislane]

[MrSharky]
