For nearly 100 years, a carburetor has been at the heart of almost all internal combustion engines. Only in the last 20 years or so have car makers used electronic fuel injection exclusively on gasoline engines. There have been examples of mechanical fuel injection for automotive applications in the past, and of course diesel engines use fuel injection. However, the classic Ford cars we love were all carburetor-equipped, from the 170-cubic inch six-cylinder with a one-barrel Autolite carb to an R-code 427 with eight barrels of Holley induction in the form of dual-quads.

Anyone into cars knows the name Troy Trepanier, and what he and his team at Rad Rides by Troy are capable of building. One of Troy's latest endeavors is an 1987 Camaro owned by Joe Lendway, a GM engineer. Camaro's are hot right now, and the designs put into this car will yet again "raise the bar" and set new standards in the street machine world. Every body panel on the car has been redesigned with all body mods crafted in steel, with the exception of nose of the car, which is constructed completely out of aluminum.
The car is powered by a fuel injected twin turbocharged 406ci SBC connected to a 4L80E transmission, a Mark Williams third member with an Eaton locker. All this power is bolted in an Art Morrison chassis with C6 Corvette suspension, 14" brakes and custom 20" x 10" Billet Specialties wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich tires.

New Pig Corporation has introduced two highly absorbent PIG® Mat rolls for soaking up drips, spills and spatters that happen anywhere in the shop. PIG® Universal Absorbent Mat Rolls (gray) and PIG® Water-Repellent Oil-Only Absorbent Mat Rolls (white) absorb liquids quickly and easily, significantly reducing cleanup time. Unlike floor sweep, PIG® Mat is free from dust and grit, so it doesn’t get tracked into vehicles or other areas, or damage delicate sensors, parts and tools.
Constructed from eight layers polypropylene, gray PIG® Mat safely absorbs and retains oil, coolants, water, gasoline, solvents, auto fluids and lubes, paint overspray, battery acid and most other liquids. And it will not rip, fray or fall apart, even when saturated. An exclusive dimple pattern speeds wicking of liquid throughout the Mat so messes disappear fast and liquids remain in the mat. For added convenience and efficiency, PIG® Mat Rolls feature easy-tear perforations every 10 inches, so techs can take just what’s needed for the job.

Vanderbilt was one of the original Damsels of Design – a group of eight, great talented female designers that the famed Harley Earl hired during the early days of the 1950s.
Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.
I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values
The year 1966 was a great year for automotive sales in the U.S. Many car manufacturers were doing very well for the economy and in 1966 the average cost for a new Dodge vehicle sold for $ 2,280 and the price of gasoline for 32 cents a gallon.
The Chrysler Corporation was also doing very well within the automotive markets with its popular Dodge Dart models. The 1966 Dodge Dart models made their debut in Dodge dealerships on September 30, 1965.

To ensure that Shelby American would have its 1966 GT350 models in dealerships when Ford released the new ‘66 Mustangs, Shelby ordered an additional 252 cars from Ford’s San Jose plant at the very end of 1965 production. These ‘change-over’ cars (often referred to as ‘carry-overs’) were essentially Shelby-spec ’65 GT350s, and received the same performance modifications,
