would it be possible to put a 4 barrel manual choke in if it went? im kinda new to the specifics when it comes to motors. This thing runs like a champ tho havnt had any problems with the carb yet but i am thinking of putting a high performance one in any suggestions? ---

This thing runs like a champ tho havnt had any problems with the carb yet but i am thinking of putting a high performance one in any suggestions? Honestly if the thing runs like a champ don’t mess with it. Invest in some wheels. Maybe change the gears in the back to 3.73’s to get more kick down low. Other than that :tup: to a clean ride. ---
