At the moment, software for my carburetor project. I took an old hated feedback carburetor and made it work. Made it work right! Got 10 percent mileage increase and altitude independent mixture.
Car is a 1960 Rambler American. In top notch shape. There's a bit of play in the steering, parts are only 2 yrs old nothing wrong, but gotta lift it up and diagnose.
The downside of old cars is constant maintenance. The upside is it's easy.
That’s awesome man. Yeah, there’s definitely a sense of pride keeping old stuff alive.
I always admire a well kept older car. Doesn’t matter if it’s a econobox from the 80s or whatever. I just enjoy it…probably more than seeing a hypercar. Yeah, they are cool and are an amazing feat of modern engineering, but the only thing required to attain it is money. The guy driving a pristine Honda accord from 1985 put in the work to have that!
