The Quest for XSive knowledge...

05-12-2006, 10:41 AM

I was wondering this morning why it is that the 70's carbs are jetted so drastically different that the 80's. Are the carbs themselves different? I know the 70's have the adjustable needles, don't know why the hell they would get rid of that feature.

Basically just curious
