Post by: 77CVT on May 22, 2007, 11:24:57 AM

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

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.

"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?  ;-)
