I don't believe the bit about the shadetree being dead. I consider myself a shadetree, and right now my son and I are building a fuel injected 347 mustang, and I wouldn't think of putting a carb on it. Altho I think they are nice on nostalgic cars, but to build a modern hot rod and put a carb on it is the lazy mans way out. There are all sorts of things you can do to increase performance. All you have to do is a little research and once you understand what's supposed to happen to make an engine run with fuel injection you'll never go back to carburated. More mileage, less engine wear due to mal adjusted carburetors which dramaticly increases engine life, and less polution, longer times between tune ups. Remember points type ignition and how fun it was to get them adjusted just right? Just imagine if we still had to crank the car or truck to get them started. I believe what has died is the greese monkey. How much longer before fuel injection is out of date? I believe it already is. We should be running our vehicles on fumes. Especially with the price of gasoline nowadays. We have to get with the times. We're lagging way behind in automotive technology. We need to develop ways to use hydrogen, even nuclear, another thing we're lagging way behind in that we should have a better handle on. Imagine buying a car and never having to put fuel in it for the life of the vehicle. When the fuel cell burns out in 20 yrs or so you just bring it to a recycler and buy a new one.
