Haven't gotten any work done to the car lately. Although it seems to be warming up quicker and running smoother after adjusting the timing. Need to buy some hoses, oil and filter, spark plugs and wires and will be checking out air cleaners soon. Any recomendations on places to buy inexspensice parts? Thanks!

Default Carb questions?

Got all of the hoses going the right places, new air cleaner, plugs, wires and oil. The shop tuned and timed it for me yet, still not pass. I bought a new cat and that solved half the problem; it passed the 15mph test but not the 25. The mechanic said I need a new (or rebuilt) carb. Can you guys give me a hand with types, prices, places to buy and maybe some pros and cons. I will do some research ASAP but the expert opinion is always appreciated.

Can you share your smog numbers? That would help the experts a lot.

Default Less SMOG in Oklahoma

No emission testing (no saftey inspection either) where I live. So I stripped it all off.
