I have been way too busy to do the math.

The Carburetor Shop began operating in 1974; that makes 2023 our 50th year of continuous operation.

I would like to thank all who have helped us achieve this milestone!

I feel like a rocket scientist here, conflicting with the dumbass simplicity here. I'm reinstalling my c6 into my parts truck to get some miles on my first auto trans rebuild in 30 years . Usually I used to bench press these things and struggle to get them on and to stay on the jack, but I am...

Last year a friend of 45 years tells me he's thinking of selling his '32 Ford pickup. He's starting to suffer from dementia. His wife was sitting in on the conversation and she was backing him up. They were both looking at me like , "you're our guy". This conversation went on until Thanksgiving....

The two I purchased have a huge shaft, but Buttercup has smaller shafts sockets.

Is this just where I gotta spend over a hundred bucks for a single tie...

Just picked up this all original 24’ T. It’s the fastest 35mph I’ve ever gone.

This is as basic as it gets and the fact that it’s still on the road nearly 100 years old and unmolested truly saying something.

I've been going through a midlife crisis (no problems with my wife, I'm just realizing that I'm starting to get old!) so I got the itch to get an early Corvette. I haven't been looking too long, but it seems decent project cars are kind of hard to find...so I felt lucky when I did find one that...

The tires are over 40 years old, look great, no checking or rot on the outside. But must have sat flat for a long time as they have slight flat spots and bounce pretty badly at about 30MPH.

So, my question is what is a comparable size street tire today? McCreary 33.0/15-15 DT

TIA
