For those who said Carburetor, your correct it's a carburetor

[TheMajesticKing777]

Are those the carburetors that have the round filters on top from all those classic cars that they stopped making

[humanearth]

Sorry to break it to you big they are still making carburetors. But not for today's cars, unless you modify the engine to take one

[TheMajesticKing777]

Well yea but they aren't so outdated tho

[humanearth]

Easier to fix then a Electronic Fuel Injection

[TheMajesticKing777]

I don't doubt it

[AFretiredTXn]

Yes can tear it down and put it back together.

[humanearth]

Same

[erandal]

Carburetor maybe?

Got the rebuild them on my motorcycle and NOT looking forward to it.

[TrueConfection]

I don't know, so does that mean I'm not old?

[exitseven]

you are like a baby.

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven Awe, thank you! 😘😘😘

[DonkeyDan]

Well I don't drive so I shouldn't know, but I am old and I do know, it's a carburettor.

[exitseven]

It is a carburetor but I don't think they have been gone all that long.

[humanearth]

They still make them for cars

[Andres77]

Antique store owner: "can I help you find something, sir?"
@humanearth : "no thanks. I'm just looking for inspiration for another GAG post."

[humanearth]

Lol true so true

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Looks like some kind of an engine, is it a leaf blower?

[Guardian45]

A carburetor. I used to play with them and a screwdriver when it was cold out. 'Replaced' by EFI, which my first sportscar had.

[serious]

I am sure I have seen this, now I am unable to recall though

[josephinelcajon]

Holley double barrel shot gun lol

[josephinelcajon]

In high school auto shop, we use to rebuild them then take them to the dyno shop and a few went to our track Cajon Speedway and Barrona both were where I watched Jimmy Johnson learn he was 6 years younger than me. Those Saturday nights were fantastic stock, mini stock, open wheeled modified, midgets, followed by train race or boat trailers they even had motorhomes one time 😂

[humanearth]

I miss them days to, I bet you would love to play in my shed. It is full of old engines from the past.

My oldest is a straight 8 olds from a 1928 runabout. Yes it still runs to. We use the engine to drive the belt system in the 1919 haybine and bailer

[Sparkie460]

It's a carburetor. There are still cars around that have carburetors

[humanearth]

Yeah, I own 10 cars that have a carburetor and none that are fuel injection.

[Likes2drive]

That’s a nice old Holly carburetor

[humanearth]

That going on my truck with the 460 big block

[Likes2drive]

I used to have one on my 350 Chevy motor in my 1980 Camaro z28 but it didn’t work as well as the Rochester carburetor from the factory

[humanearth]

Well this holly is only temporarily, I'm sending out the org one to be professionally remanufactured. The Ford Motorcraft 4 barrel with manual choke

[josephinelcajon]

O be still my heart please share a before and after I bet it looks brand new!

[humanearth]

@josephinelcajon i forgot to take a before photo. Its all packed up and waiting to get to the shop

[Likes2drive]

Yeah it seems the factory one is usually the best, nice it’s getting rebuilt

[ChrisMaster69]

It looks a bit like a carb.

[Guardian45]

Carbohydrate?
