Re: Holley 4150 carburetor development history

Re: Maxxis tires
I have Maxxis brand tires on our camper. I believe they are made in Taiwan, I was trying to avoid the china bombs and goodyear hadn't started making rv tires at the time. So far seem ok.

Re: Throttle return spring and baling wire
A thinking mans fix, field expedience I think they call it. No one went back to dealer after warranty in rural area in those days unless it was serious. Great looking car.

I like all of the old American iron. My preference is Ford, but in the day they all built some solid vehicles. They all built some good looking machines, not so much anymore.

Re: Anyone fitted a rear gas tank?
Tanks Inc makes saddle tanks for Model A's that fit behind the running boards. Not sure what models they fit. I see speedway sells them along with others.
