Question about carburetors
So i have a question about carburetors. Are they really hard to replace or rather simple? Reason i ask is because im waiting to purchase this 85 firebird, the guy put it in the shop to get the carburetor replaced because it had a fuel problem of some kind on monday and it is now friday. So my question is, would it have been easier for me to have just replaced it myself?

They're about as simple to replace as anything gets. Even rebuilding it yourself isn't difficult if you can pay attention to detail.
