77 400 has me stumped

[snoranger]

Fuel injection is the same at Auto Driving cars will be

No fun, at least with a carb you KNOW you are still a mechanic(weekly), and will be until the day you die, or you sell that vehicle

That sounds a lot like work... why would I want to do work at home? I already do that at work.

In Michigan???
Unless you have a manual choke you at least have to adjust the choke for winter and summer, so twice a year
And maybe it gets 8MPG so no need to adjust it, lol, the "gas monkey" under the hood just dumps in gas as you go
APE carburetor brand

Joking
Good carb can go awhile without adjustment, doesn't mean you shouldn't adjust it, thats the fun part


Daddy, what do they mean when they say "Driver", did people really operate vehicles themselves, wasn't that dangerous?
Yes it was Son, much better and safer now with Auto Drive

NASCAR and F1 should be Auto Drive now, controlled conditions, get rid of the drivers and make it safer and faster
Currently Driver's get credit for what the engineers and mechanics do
That should piss people off, lol

Nah honestly id set in "mild" weather and it ran good enough for me in hot or cold lol. From -10 to 90*+

We never changed choke adjustments for winter and summer.
My carbureted Mustang and Ranger respond instantly to throttle movement, whether it's a tiny movement or a sudden WOT. My Escape is fine for normal driving but a sudden WOT produces acceleration in a few seconds which can get hairy because the only time I would WOT the Escape is in an emergency.

Jeeze, its like I am having lunch with a bunch of women
"Whats a choke?"
You adjust the choke because YOU CAN adjust the choke on a carb

Do you check/adjust tire pressure in winter and summer, or do YOUR HUSBANDS do that for you
Yes, I get it, you go to FULL SERVE gas pumps only

Don't get your panties in a bunch, just joking

The only thing I have with a carb is my lawn mower. 1 car, 2 SUVs, 3 trucks, 2 SxSs, 2 quads, ... 0 carbs, 0 chokes. Fuel injection and diesel for the win.

Only things injected on my place are our two daily drivers lol. Diesel need not apply.
