So who decides what's "fake"?
The judge who should be qualified but is likely a keyboard/car club hero. Had a highly regarded upper level individual in the national Oldsmobile / 442 club sell a "Freshly rebuilt tris power set up to a customer for an obscene amount of $$. The carbs looked nice until one opened them up to discover all the missing parts like jets, needles (hey the seats were there), and the 30? + year old crud in the bottom of the bowls. He accused me of lying so I provided pic's taken before and during the disassembly. he went silent after that
BTW here's a pic of the patched cylinder head I mentioned earlier, whadd'ya want or expect for 180K ? ( it was a few yeas back)
