'70 Shelby 428CJ carb questions ?
By John - 07/15/2004 10:39:31 PM; IP 65.78.65.139
Hi guys (me again) ... just got a 37,000 mi. '70 Shelby 428CJ back on the road after 15 years in the hands of a greiving widow. Re-bearinged, ringed and gasketed it and it runs hot NOT TO MENTION carb problems. My questions ... Is it possible that the car came with a manual choke? It has what I think to be the original Holley 650. How much has carb technology changed since 1970? Does it make sense to remove the original carb, pack it in JUMBO Crown Royal sack and keep it for the future?
Should I purchase a NEW design carb w/ electric choke? ... if so, what brand / model?
Should I replace the old points / coil system with a new and improved design? ... if so, wehat brand / model?
Before you answer ... I do realize the value of originality but want to DRIVE AND KEEP THIS GEM FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

Thanks ... John
