Camaros and Firebirds have always somewhat looked alike.

Only older then mine by 2 years, but not as old as jabari's Ford F1. Can't speak about rust unless I saw all our cars in person.. CST10 has all sorts of hidden (rust) goodies

Good to see the Camaro getting attention.

When the world falls out and the only thing left are non electronic machines, give me a call, I'll still be driving my CST10.

If it looks like mine, it's the Rochester 4BBL Quadrajet, one of the best stock carbs to use. Even good fuel economy if you set it up right. Run around on the tiny primaries, and then set the linkage to open the massive 2ndaries at 1/2-3/4 throttle.

No reason to hate carbs, when properly tuned they can be just as efficient as EFI.

30 mpg on ethenol, is that /gallon of gas in the ethanol mix, or /gallon of fuel. Because with ethanol, MPG goes down. If you did a three-deuce setup you could have MPG and when the foot gets happy, full thottle powah!

I like both, but for very different reasons. I just like the god-awful simplicity of a Carburetted system, the fact that when something goes wrong I don't have to go through a technological maze (Like I have had with the Firebird) to find the problem, and it's fixable with some hand tools. And when properly tuned a good carb will perform as well as EFI, just that it isn't self learning and adjusting as EFI is. That, and on older cars it most often times leaves a cleaner look under the hood.

On a more day-to-day performance stand point, EFI all the way, no arguments about it. It does start on the 1st try And of course the tuning aspect is crazy...

I'd happily take your carb and hi-rise intake if I were closer

Different strokes for different folks, it's all good.

But 30 mpg with an old school chevy small block? That I want to see. Then I can have hopes for the CST10

Wouldn't argue that with an LS motor though, and a nice 6 speed.
