Re: [DML] Re: Why Owners Carburete Their DeLoreans

In my humble opinion, you've got no business walking into any parts store looking for delorean parts unless you already know either the part number or cross reference vehicle.

That's why the documentation on ANY mod is SO important. In my area there are not so many "older" guys who can look at a part and know what to get you. All the "kids" nowadays can't find ANYTHING unless they can look it up on the computer. I didn't say you couldn't get parts, you just have to know how to ask for them. Don't try to order them from DMCH! There are many parts on the Delorean (brakes, filters, etc) that you CAN buy locally if you know a more popular car that was fitted with them. Paperwork is VERY important. Any owner that does something like the carb conversion is well served by keeping good docs on all of it so if (and when) he needs something he knows what and how to ask for it.
