Thanks guys for all of the compliments. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif


PeteLeathersac, "Fastbowtie" AKA Donn Waters, deserves all the credit for not only finding the car, but IDing it as well. Donn spent a lot of time on this, researching old magazines, tracking down past owners, taking to it various events and many phone calls to anyone who might know soemthing about the car.

ORIGLS6, most likey Hilborn stack injection. Seems Stu Hilborn, the man behind Hilborn injection, was known to frequent Bill's shop, working on new and better injection units.

Awesome find, TC!

I can visualize Novacaine and Psycho side by side at Vettefest next month; whaddya think?

Re: Another funny car arrives in Alton
 

Hilborn would certainly be cool but how about an original Bill Thomas-modified 1963 Corvette fuel injection unit with dual air meters re-located to the top of the plenum. These were used by Bill Thomas during the Cheeetah program and are extremely rare. Mine's currently not for sale, but it wouldn't be too difficult to duplicate.

Mark, put up a few pics if your FI unit,
never seen one before, how much CFM will it flow????

Re: Another funny car arrives in Alton
 

Bud,
Here's the dual air meter FI as it appears in the '69 Bill Thomas catalog (same one that Tom displayed in the other thread). The price sheet states $295. if you provide the doghouse.

Re: Another funny car arrives in Alton
 

Congrats on your purchase of that car, Tom. It is a neat piece of Chevy race history and it is very cool that it has survived pretty much as it was "back in the day".
