Thanks to Cam I can show you a pic of my recent purchase. It is in good condition for a 36 year old car but is already making a dent in the pocket!

Maybe I can start a "secret project" of my own?? :evil

here ya go buddy.

Tough lookin ride, and the steering wheel is on the right (as in proper) side.
If the manifold is an edelbrock victor junior it will usually say so just behind the thermostat housing, unless it's been ground off. These type of manifolds have a working power band of about 3500-8000+.
Probably not ideal for the street but awesome at the track.
Enjoy it;42

hey 77cvt.i notice the horses in the background.they trotters or gallopers?

77CVT · « **Reply #11 on:** May 23, 2007, 08:47:33 AM »

Trotters. That one is Jedi Warrior, aka "Jed". Won 16 so far but have had a bit of trouble this campaign.

Should be back at the pointy end soon!

PS. I couldn't find Nos on the alternator other than 8F27-12VNE under the top bracket bolt.

no woorys about the nos,they should be on the outer case,about the trotters my family are into them heavily,my old mans name is barry matterson,he just starting to wind down now as he is 72 now,had some good horses like red sultan,roll on big red,guy chapell drives for him now.my nephew is a driver as well,adam ruggari,he was a junior for a long time,do you know of them?

MADLT1 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 23, 2007, 04:12:30 PM »

this is were the nos are located

77CVT · « **Reply #14 on:** May 23, 2007, 04:24:35 PM »

"roll on big red" huh? Not a bad one to have! :v

I don't know Adam or Guy. 72 is about the time they stand around the stables pointing, telling everyone what to do and shouting "it was good enough 30 years ago!" isn't it? ;-)

MADLT1 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 23, 2007, 04:45:04 PM »

THATS RIGHT,i can remember 30 years ago my grandfather yelling at my father,another horse they had was willie morris.;42
