I have been looking for more Message Boards that are focused around carburated SBC and BBC stuff. I see this board has Classic Tech here, but wondering if there is something else out there.
Thanks In Advance.

Only other board I really like is nastyz28.com. It's a 2nd gen board.

Protouring.com has some older stuff. There is also a 1st gen site somewhere, but I have never been on it.
Unfortunately, the internet seems to be populated by the younger set, most of whom don't remember carbs! Or mention flatheads and they really go blank! :D

I know what your saying. Hell I'm only 25 but I've got a carburated SBC in my 97 SS. That thing has so much grunt its insane, sucks that I have to part with her.

Ain't that a kick?
You put a carbed motor in the 4th gen, while I put a FI LT1 in my 68.. :cool:
Carbs aren't dead, just not emissions friendly. And the intake technology for carbs has been developed over the past 50 years, FI is still a baby comparitively speaking. It still amazes me how much power the NASCAR motors are making, with a single carb and flat tappet cams.
But us "old" timers need to pass on some carb and distributor knowledge.. so it doesn't become another lost art.

Tex, I used to hang out a lot at ProTouring, but that has been invaded by the younger crowd too (bigger opinions, less knowledge lol). So I started my own forum.
Camaros.net is a great site for 1st Gens, carbed motors, etc. Some good people on there.
