There's a right way, and a wrong way of making an opinion known. Do we rise up, or do you sink down? I'm not judging. Anyone can say what they want, but I was taught by my dad....."say what you mean....mean what you say, but don't say anything mean". He said it was an issue with character. Which was funny to me because he was a career Marine and twice Viet Nam vet. He is smart though.

I still love you Beau......but not in a prison kind of way. By the way, are you having a bad day?

Good post Vinnie I feel the other stuff was handled in the other thread . and I understood the tongue in cheek in this one.
Fox-less at the moment

Good to hear....the funnin' and the steering rack.

Firstly, what is the relevance of your post?
 


Normally, when people make an ass of themselves on a small forum (this one would be a GREAT example) they generally should just shut the hell up, and not continue posting. Especially with about 7 different user accounts, like you've been doing. I don't give 2 flying balls of shiznit how many cars you've built. Utterly don't care.  You've proved your ignorance in the thread that got locked, and if you've built as many cars, especially Ford stuff, then you'd know to just replace an ignition switch and not bother with a  dealership.
You are a narcissistic drama queen assmonkey and only the second person in my seven years of posting here that I have ever put on ignore. Considering the levels of stupid we've dealt with here before, that's saying quite a lot.

And what I think about carburetors? People who are too stupid and lazy to pull codes, but would rather tear off several hundred dollars' worth of efi parts for a piece of shiznit gas-wasting carb and a chinese 4 barrel intake.

My first 2 vehicles were carb and points, and I was always working on it and rebuilding, and replacing the  stuff. You want it, you can have it all.
Far far easier to pull codes, and only a true dinosaur mechanic will say the carbs, and points systems are easier to diagnose than an efi system.

Lastly, I'm totally into classic cars, as well as newer ones, but do NOT tell me that you're gonna make more power with a carb on the same engine than you would with fuel injection. Carbs have their place...lawnmowers and classic cars being the only thing to come to mind, and, well, those knuckle-draggers in nascar who turn left and smash the gas for a whole race.
Did I strike a nerve? :shakeass:

Wow i was just pointing out that technology moves on. Either you CUT BAIT OR FISH. I have no desire of impressing anyone. Basically my life would not change one bit if i move on. But i like to pass on info. My real name is RENZO. And i do not make it known where my shop is. Been in the business to long and do not want people i do not know to know where it is. As far as the post i was just showing the advances in automotive technology. I run all kinds of modern systems in my builds including EFI. I have not built a carbed engine in AGES other than the supercharged BIG block chevys that come out of the shop. As far as the user names i used my kids signatures. Reason being is i did not know how to set up my own. So my kids told me to use theirs. I admit i am computer ignorant. The post was a spoof of old technoligy showing how old things die out. Years ago mechanics did not know how to work on the new stuff. Switching back to carbs is foolish with the EFI systems of today. I know i said i would not post any of our cars but i would like you to see the JUNK we build. I cant believe what you posted about  me other than that this is one of the antiquates cars we built and won several best in shows. Do you really think i would want that old JUNK. I was just making a point of the old stuff that died out with technology. Seems that your Hatred for me extends beyond my post. Care to explain. I would really like to know why. Do you think i dropped off a turnip truck. Been in this business for decades. And dont call me NAMES.  Thank you.

This engine has carbs.

Tom was making a point about the difference between old and new. I don't think he actually meant he wants all that old stuff.....just being smart-ellic. LOL. He was making the point that carbs are outdated, and that they don't make cars with them anymore. And if you're going carb, why not get the generator, tube tires, 3 speed, etc. I don't think any ill feelings were intended.

Thanks Vinnie that is exactly what i meant. Years ago older mechanics left the business like my DAD when all the modern stuff came out. He would not work on modern stuff. He specialized in the old school stuff. Not because he was an old timer. He just did not want to retrain. I on the other hand had to work on modern stuff as i do. Everything changes and if we want to stay in the business we move on to modern technology.  My post just showed the advances we made in the automotive industry. My dad used to remove HEI systems and install Point dizzys. He just did not know the new stuff. Actually one time i saw him setting the valves in his big block chivelle with a feeler gauge. He set the rockers at .012Intake and .018 exhaust. Only problem the engine had a hydraulic LIFTERS. But because the valves were quiet he said they were to tight. Well thanks and sorry for the confusion. You knew what i was saying.

Yep, because 2 valve engines are more powerful.  Actually this is the only statement you posted that is true. Guess you got Lucky on this answer.

well looks like its time to move on because TEMPERS ARE RUNNING RATHER HIGH. Hay how do you like the CHEVY????????????????? Neat RIGHT. Separates the men from the!!! Well you know

That's cool, even to a decidedly -non GM person...

Did you see the youtube stuff on the 1400-something horsepower blown 572-propelled 'Bird? The engine had problems, and still laid down over 1400 ponies..

Hmmm, so the 4 cam 4.6 (Cobra, Navigator) and the 3 valve 4.6 make less power than the 2 valve version? No wonder Ford put em in their vehicles...can't sell too much power!

Oh, Ferrari and Lamborghini must also be down on power, they use (mostly) 4 valves per cylinder...

No, sorry, an engine will make more power if it has 4 valves per cylinder, than it would with just 2. It's been proven.

Temper? no, not here, but I do have an over developed sense of humor.

Chevies? I got 2 of 'em...never have been impressed with the 3 or 4 I've had the displeasure of driving before, neither.
Sadly, that's all that's roadworthy here right now...

Time to move on? From the forum? Not cool to do. You just stick it out and all will be golden. It's all just talk.

So what you're saying here, is that a car (mind you, a very track oriented car) with 2 valve heads is faster than another car (also very track oriented) with an engine half the size, and not as good weight distribution?

Remember back when the ZR-1 'Vette was released, back in what was it, '89 or something?

It had the 32 valve all aluminum 5.7....remember that. How much more power it made than the standard 5.7?

And yes, the new Vette has set a 'Ring lap record...not that THAT has jack shiznit to do with 2 valve heads...I'd say the  near 50-50 weight distribution is a bigger asset in this case....the ring isn't a dyno, it's a road course.

The guys that have swapped the volvo head onto their 2.3 engines..I don't think they did it because they knew they'd be making less power with it....

And anyway, let's start a different thread about this if you feel the need to convince me on your argument...I'm sure the OP isn't thrilled about us shiznitting up his thread, and for that, i apologize.
