  1. I see all these guys running carbs more so than I do turbos lately, and so I inevitably have a question. Can I make more horsepower/torque running carbs (like triple webbers or triple mikunis or the ones that look like ITB's) than I would on my fuel injected l28e? Is there a conversion kit of some kind or an easy way to do this? Also, I heard that a carburreted engine has this kinda different growl to it. Is this true? I mean to tell you guys the truth, I know nothing about carburretors, I don't even know if I'm spelling it right, but I do know that the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's did have a different sound to them than the fuel injected cars of now, and I do know that the right carb will make power on some engines...

     

    if you dont know much about carbs, i wouldnt run them, i would think a triple set up would require some tuning of the jets and etc. Then again i dont know much about carbs either......

  2. Well it looks like a 1970-71 guessing from the hatch, the body appears all stock, paint looks like the Le Mans Sunset? Or w/e the color name is on the orange 350z, the rims look like aftermarket CCWs, i dont know if this helps you at all...

  3. the roof rail dosent look that bad at all, maybe i cant tell in the pics, is it just bad surface rust? either way hit it with some metal prep and a wire brush to clean it off. As for the taillight panel where the hatch closes, you can buy that piece for like 150 or so or you can do like i did, cut one out of a junk yard car and tack it in place and smooth it out, worked nice on my car
