I don't much about carbs, but this seems like a good deal if the intake manifold/ carb aren't stock: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/pts/2604081300.html

I looked at this. Any advantage to the old school 13B carb? Any chance it would bolt up to a 12A intake?

That manifold is for an old school 4 port 13B so it won't match the intake
spacing on a 12A. Can the carb be put on your existing 12A manifold? Thats
the question, but your nikki is probably just as good for now.

I can't make it this year, Dean. Hopefully next year.

The obligatory Nikki comment for Ray - "Of course, there is no better carb than a Nikki, but I was just curious".

Well yes Mike, I was about to point out the great overall superiority of the Nikki compared to the alternatives, especially when coupled to a well maintained rat's nest.

But since you're just curious, so am I. What's wrong? You having some issues with your Nikki? You and she having a little disagreement?

Even so, as Tim points out "your nikki is probably just as good for now" even if she is a little cranky. Until you get your rat's nest fixed up and reinstalled, that is.

Then we be cruising. Right on up to B3R next year.

The car is running great. Nikki is kicking out all the ponies she can muster and getting 20 mpg. The intake is about the only area left for me to "fix". I would like more horse power, but I like the look of the blue air cleaner. I am searching for down draft carb that I will allow me to use the air cleaner.

Gene, you sound like my wife, "it aint broke dont fix it". Thanks for the information.

The car belongs to Robert Watson. He lives deep in AL. He did say he would really like to make it over for a meet one day.

Word is Robert is going to make it to the November meeting. So Ray, this is your notice to get your jacket in your car, schedule to go into work on Tuesday, November 1st. Then stop by the Twisted Tavern, or Twisted sister, whatever you want to call it and give Robert, Ray's proper OGTA welcome.

See you next Tuesday night Ray.

Put one of our cards on an FB with silver top and blue sides last week in the parking lot at SugarLoaf and 316.

How is it that with everybody talking about the demise of the rotary we just keep seeing more and more FB's coming out of the woodwork?

Either they are spontaneously reproducing or they're being salvaged at a rate that is significantly greater than the rate at which they are being retired.

Be good to meet this Robert guy and pick up a few ideas from that beauty of his. And a blue sided silver topped FB sounds pretty interesting too.

I'll be there, taking lots of pics and once again contributing to the dominance of OGTA's over YGTB's.

Ray, It isn't the FB's or SA's that are coming out of the woodwork. It is YOU that comes out of the woodwork. A lot of these guys go to the events outside of GA.

That looks like great fun Tim, I'm going next year. If I'd known you were starting out from the Braselton Cracker Barrel I would have joined you guys for breakfast at least.

This looks like fun too. I can't believe I haven't seen this car, it's out of Lawrenceville. Somebody must know this guy!
