You can actually tell what brands they are, all have an identity. I remember those pics in every Chilton's. 8)

The Motor manual was the one I liked, they had photos not drawings.

Yep, carbs do. :)
I recognise a few of those grills from my toys as a kid. A Studebaker sticks in my mind. The British models were #$%*, round and grey whereas the American ones were colourful and exotic to us children.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

My friend has one of those. He has a Boss 302 in it with two 4 barrels.
Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

From what I've read about them, those 6 packs tended to catch on fire by themselves.  No help was needed!
