ebay money burning a hole....must spend.

Ok so I bought some more goodies with my ebay score.

I bought a Carter Competition 600cfm carb with a broken choke horn off ebay $21!...and on a blow-thru you cut the choke horn off anyway!

I went to Summit for some parts for the carb...It needs a marine accelerator pump to keep fuel from blowing out around the shaft under boost and a bigger .110 needle and seat...It also needs solid floats as the tin floats will crush like a beer can under boost...since no one makes a solid for a Carter/Edelbrock you have to use a Thermoquad float and graft to the the Carter Comp's arm. I have those ordered from my local (good) parts store...Loop Road Auto Parts...where they actually know what you are talking about when you say I need a Thermoquad float!


I also bought a side pipe install kit because it's cheaper to get j-pipes and elbows in this kit then seperately...squeek, squeek....

..and then I'm surfing ebay and found a place selling a new Innovate LC-1 wideband 02 sensor kit for $150 wow that's $50 less than I have seen it evereywhere else. This comes with the the cable software so I can add a laptop and track the real-time air-fuel ratio for tuning...sweet.

Cost: $230 (all of the above)
