air is required to burn the fuel, cause in a vacume nothing burns.since there is a absence of O2 the fuel will not burn. understand

You have to have proper air and fuel mixture. The right spark. I have seen on Saturday or Sunday mornings a couple of shows that will help: 2 guys garage, PHRTV. If you get Spike tune in to Power Block-You can pick up some good leads. Also if your school or the High School of choice offers auto shop-TAKE it.Reading mags dont hurt. Also tuning into site slike this-but be carfull.
Hang around and dont be shy to ask...

A 64 Chevy Impala, 327 (2bbl), auto, cold factory air, body in real good shape.Buying parts and storing them, waiting for the heat wave to go away. No Fords were in the market. There were a couple of 57 Chevy's. On 1 the husband/wife team couldn't make up there mind-so I helped and said screw it. The other 57 I made an offer and the guy sat on it to long. He called me 10 days after I bought the 64.
But I still have the Lil' tude Silver Focus that I show about once a month at cruizes, and the 95 Pony GT.
