If I didn't know better -- I'd think you were 80+ years old… Dual Carbs? Really?
Last time I adjusted a carb it was on a cement mixer.

Thank you for seeing signs of "the greatest generation" in me. That's the nicest thing you could say.

And now for a quick time out from this build thread so I can

For those of you who don't appreciate what you have or why you have it; that is the generation that, as Tom Brokaw wrote in his 1998 book:

"it is, I believe, the greatest generation any society has ever produced." "these men and women fought not for fame and recognition, but because it was the right thing to do."

They took us out fo the depression and put our country at the pinnacle of the world in their time.

If any of you get a chance hang out with an 80+ year old for an afternoon and learn something. They will probably tell you how to rebuild this country

and

maybe even how to tune a set of dual quads.

I'm a big fan of hanging out with old geezers.

And now back to our regular programming.

It hurts when you refer to that Yellow Mustang as a "cement mixer". You know deep down inside you aren't an EFi weenie and love your carbs.

Remember every-time you get out of that Lotus EFI gokart and back into the Mustang you get goosebumps and the hair on your neck stand up when you mash the skinny pedal and hear the butterflies in the carb open.

Now you know why you feel that way when you look at that picture.
