[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3365625, member: 44288"] Back to original or a restomod on the 442? 60's and 70's styling was great but the car underneath was 60's and 70's technology. I remember having to pump the gas pedal or flooring it just to get the damn things to start. There was always the possibility of flooding the carburetor. Carburetor linkages wore out sometimes causing vacuum leaks. Not to mention the EGR valve and pollution control valve. There was usually a heat muff attached to the air filter to get heated air to the engine for cold weather starts. There was a vacuum canister to assist the vacuum system and a smog pump. Through technology all of these have been eliminated. [/QUOTE]
