    Kool Car Photos!

    Correct on the type of carb, all the linkage is on left side of carb. BUT, that's not the problem. It's the fuel bowls, as mounted the carb on the drives side is correct, the other one is mounted backwards. With side pivot floats the DS carb will work great under hard acceleration, the gas...

    Which power steering fluid do I use?

    at NAPA we sell 2 kinds of P/S fluid, one is labelled for Honda/Acura cars and trucks only, and the other one is for every other car or truck on the road. newer ATF's have modifiers and seal protectors that will destroy P/S seals.
