Hard heads...

New to this forum,not new to pulling wrenches or to forums in general. From your demeanor,i can tell you are knowledgeable and after (im guessing) years of sharing that knowledge you get tired of repeating yourself.
I have zero experience building engines, but a lifetime of fixing them. If and when i decide to persue more performance im certain there is hundreds of threads covering whatever i want to do. I search i read. When my cigarette lighter quits i dont hop on the forum (s)and post questions, i figure it out and fix it. Wish i had an example, but people will ask the same question across many forums on the great wide web. Everybody wants the cheapest answer.

I was once a polite young man, then i became a mechanic.

Im new here,find all the info overwhelming and appreciate all you have done as well as the others of comparable stature.

For the better part of a month,my neighbour was having a problem with his Dart. I said fuel. Way too much. Pull (new holley) and bring it over. Nope. Kept fiddling.
Smart guy, but his perception of the problem was spark/timing. Took car to some specialist, carb was polluted(packing material) and waay out of adjustment. A month of frustration. What i said, fuel. A month before.
You arent alone, just some filter a little better than others.
