Default New from NWF

Been an enthusiast from the beginning like knowing when the diameter of a sway bar or fiber optics on the console could determine a model year. As of lately I had been involved with liter bikes and a V8 S10. Each year I get less enthusiastic about electronics on vehicles. I love electronics but on a very specific instance I don't like being held hostage to electronics. For instance when my YJ Jeep fuel injection system started disabling the vehicle at short but inopportune times I removed all the electronics accept the radio. I made a manifold and installed a single barrel Weber carb getting rid of the entire fuel injection system and every relay. The system is entirely consistent with other carb models available that year. So what this means is that I am now going to build the last no year emission altered Vette which is also my favorite year, 1969. The only alteration will be to flare the fenders to accept wider tires and install a 496 in the 69 that I am building for the S10.
