What gives? My posting dissapeared.

Discussion in 'Questions & Suggestions' started by thecheappolock, Jul 20, 2015.

  1. I don't know what happened but I posted a question " Using a fake old carb for modern throttle body".
    I got 16 replies and all of a sudden the entire post is gone. It's not like I was asking about ricer or mini truck crap, but about vintage looking modern home made fuel injection.

    ?????

    Sorry man... We don't cover EFI here...
     
  3. But apparently a 700r4 trans qualifies as "vintage "!

    What a bunch of crap!

    The 4 speed auto is a replacement for an old style trans, EFI is EFI, not mech, injection or a carburetor. In addition you were trying to fake the look of carbs with hidden FI? Many here showed restraint, faux stuff like that, as well as faux blowers, magnetos, rocket valve covers, QC rear end covers, etc. usually get ripped on asap by many members.

    I don't think following the rules here is a "bunch of crap" as you put it.
     
  6. OK, now I think I get it. And I have to admit I agree with you in regards to "fake" components. (What was I thinking!)
    When I got my posting bumped off I thought it was because I wanted use something more modern (i,e, efficient) than carbs. That was what prompted my "700R4" comment.
    My apologies.
    And when it's all said and done, it's about a 95% chance I'll be using the carbs.
