NEW INTAKE FROM EDELBROCK?

Every once in a while I'll do a search for "eldebrock" to see how many people still haven't gotten it right.

Steve

I've heard several versions of the word "Weiand" also, LOL

Sounds like something I would have said, and I'm OLD.

So ?/\

Look at how many cant spell convertible! {convertable}

Or Camero or bumber...

Then there's the non-automotive word supposably

At least the Edelbrock intakes usually will have it spelled out for them right on the manifold.

Steve

I've always referred to cars from the '80s (such as FOX body Mustangs) as late model.

It's strange, I got my 72 GS350 back in 1995 when it was only 13 years old.

Going backwards, that makes a 1990 Mustang equally as "old". Even at that time I thought of it as an older car. I guess I don't see the 1990's as equally as old as I did my Buick back then.

Well, I would have thought it to be 23 years old myself.

Dana

...that's because I misspelled 1985 :)

Steve ...numerically challenged

ROFL the mind boggles...

::::goes out to buy calculator for the Assrhino and Clairol "Just for Men" hair color for self:::::

Even when part of their slogan is, "Just say Why-And"

Steev

My calculation was correct had I not misstyped the year though. I think the Assrhino desires a keypad for his laptop.

...I was told the grey makes you look more distinguished... I'm keeping mine. :)

Steve

There's always a few "holly" carburetors for sale also.

Ah! A '72 didn't seem so old back then. Of course, that was 18 years ago. Pardon me while go shake up a triple martini and wonder where my youth went...

Dana

My dear wife once told me that she found salt-and-pepper hair very arousing. At the time, I had no salt in my pepper but time has rolled on...

Dana

I wonder if there are any 'holy' carburetors out there? *chuckle*

That's how all the hot rod magazines see it, too. I think the dividing line is between the '70's and early '80's, when the old rear drive carbureted pushrod v8 cars which ruled the road from the early '50's to the early '80's gave way to the front drivers, and fuel injection was used on the few rear drive pushrod V8's which remained.

Also, the three-year model changeover typical of the '50's, '60's, and '70's made cars seem to age alot faster than cars from the '80's, when big makeovers became alot less frequent. Like the Mustang: Gen 1, '65-'66; Gen 2, '67-'68; Gen 3, '69-'70; Gen 4, '71-73, and Gen 5, '74-76. Then Gen 6, the Fox bodies, lasted from '79 to '93, and Gen

7, starting with the '94's, is still in production. So a '73 Mach 1 seems really old, but an '82 GT is very similar to the current product and to my mind is still a "late model," even though it's 22 model years old now. 180 Out TS 28
