Hello from socal!

[bigry19]

Hey guys, little lurker here and finally joined, member from autogeek and thought i minus well join this awesome site aswell!
I`m from southern California and part time detail on the side, as full time i currently work with my dad and brother doing carburetors on old hot rods and such.

Heres some of stuff i`ve gathered over the years.

G21 Boss 6.5 bp
GG6 6.5 looking to convert to a smaller bp since the new g21 took over.
Some megs 105 and other products and also 3d products hence there right behind my house haha.

Anywho, thought i`d welcome my self and tell a little about me. Looking to hopefully learn how to post pictures and threads on here with fellow detailers!

Welcome, Bigry19 -
Glad to have you aboard.
Looks like you have some good equipment - and yes, smaller backing plates from the 5.5" and on down will certainly allow much easier use and the ability to get into those little places better..

I knocked out a few carbs back in the old days of the big -3 - Holley, Rochester, and Carter...
Bet these kids dont even have an idea what Im talking about..
There were even more higher performance exotic carbs back then too...
Hope you guys are making them all good again !

I love Holley carbs. Never cared for Carter/Edelbrock carbs. And Predators...Those were something else!

Funny timing. In the process of moving and got to a box where I have a set of Weber DCOEs waiting to go on a project. Of all things, a Honda motor that is fuel injected! hehe. That should be fun.

Welcome, bigry19! I`m also from SoCal. Near South Gate / Anaheim / Huntington Beach (Woman`s, work, soon-to-be-former home)

Double pumpers on race day, Carter`s for everyday driving (not the Thermoquad, just didn`t like those). Rochester`s, well... if we have to. No, seriously, a QuadraFlood could run quite well. When you`d stomp on a QJ and open those big spread bore secondaries they`d sound like the atmosphere was disappearing. Every Ricky Racer on the block would flip the air cleaner lid on a QuadraJet over and listen to it. You may or may not be going fast but either way it sounded like you were.

I double "like" that post, Gearhead.
