There's still a carb'd Accord that I see running around here once in a while, but they are few and far between. Back when this car was new, the DX and LX had the carb, the LX-i and SE-i were fuel injected. The Prelude S of that year still had twin carbs for another year or two, and may have been the last carb'd car available in the country.

They also had vacuum lines that could span from coast-to-coast.

Head gasket killed mine too. And probably the one I sold to my brother.

I believe I am correct in stating that the last carburetted car sold in the US was the Subaru Justy in maybe 1993. Why that tidbit is stuck in my head, I have no idea.

In reply to 02Pilot :

Thats pretty late. I know my 87 toyota was the last year they came with carbs sans special order.

Weren't a few chevy 305s carbed until the early 90s as well?

I'm still holding onto a rare armrest for one of these as I plan to grab another in the future. Hatchback fuel injection maroon preferred.
