Chuck, Here is the show web site - June 26-28, Penticton BC

http://www.peachcitybeachcruise.com/

Some members of the Pacific NW Camaro club are meeting in Lynnwood, driving out Rte 2 to Rte 97 which goes straight there. We are leaving Thursday morning the 25th. If you want more specifics on what time and where we meet in Lynnwood let me know!

-Sam

Sam, SAME weekend as Camaros at Carlisle(PA), the Biggest, Best Camaro show in the country.

I'll be leaving Sea-Tac Wednesday night, the 24th for my eighth consecutive year.

Wish these conflicts didnt have to happen, but there are only so many spring/summer weekends for all these misc shows

Hope to see your posted pics after the event.

Regards,

I finally got my buddy to upload the dyno video from his camera - Here is the L78 just after cam break-in making a pull - 295 RWHP and 323 ft lbs out of a stock rebuild. This is through the stock exhaust and with the rev limiter set to 6 grand.

Nice job, noticed that P/S pulley, what is that off of.? 70 Solid lifter should be an 1105 DD I think. Car looks really unique with SS wheels on it. Were they available as an option for a 70 Camaro.?
