FBO plate over advancing

Agent_Orange said

I grew up in the fuel injection Era, so my experience in this world of distributors and carbs is growing by the day. Luckily, I built this car with dad 24 years ago and I'm even more blessed that he kept it in the corner all those years while I was busy being irresponsible.

I've spent a lot of time within this site's search function, and from my point of view, I know who on here has helped fix and improve my favorite car. You guys are appreciated.

When I first began as a mechanic in high school auto shop in 1980, front wheel drive was coming into vogue and anything with EFI on it was a total POS, since it was still in its finite stages. I've worked in just about every dealership in Macon and some others in outlying areas in my career as a mechanic and I must say I still hate EFI. It's never made sense to me that a fuel pump failure on EFI means dead in the water "wherever" you are when a fuel pump failure on a carburetor might mean if you're easy on the gas, you might can make it home. I've never seen it as an upgrade and I never will.
