Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
Thats neat, did you get to see any racing? I was in your State last year- 2002 and 03, 6 times total. I did the specifications on 3 new American LaFrance 110 ft Aerials and saw them through the build process. Ephrata, I think I spelled it right. Also visited Blue balls, Bird in Hand, Intercourse and Gettysburg. I have Fire shirts from all of them. It seems everybody in Penn races, is this true?. Every other house had an enclosed trailer in the driveway, I WAS IN HEAVEN!!! LOL.

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
All the areas you mentioned were within 15 miles of Maple Grove Raceway. The heart of DIV.1 racing!! Did YOU see any racing???? I didn't see any racing, but went to Half Moon Bay and looked up the old air strip they raced on. That was neat. Also went to Pomona and took some pictures of the drag strip. That is like in a populated area. Went to the NHRA museum too. Went to Englishtown Friday. The stock guys do use a carb spacer, but I don't see the aluminum heat shields though. Carb spacer is wood or bakealite maybe. I guess there are limits to the height. Maybe an inch?
 Blue Ball not balls

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
Yea, thats the one. I guess not on the 69 Camaro 427 so far. Like the Hemi Nascar for NHRA Stock they just.....
 found paper work on. I am not giving up yet. I guess they had it for the rochester too. Someone had mentioned it might be a Cal, Az, Nev option?? I just had the Tech people look at my new Holley extra thick gasket with plastic inserts at the bolt holes to approve it. We went through Holley's inventory to find it. Almost a 1/2" thick. Barry

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
You can not run the alum heat sheild. NHRA rules this as an over the counter piece. What most people do is buy two (2) heat sheids and put the bottom gaskets together. there is a 1/4" ruel on carb gasket thickness. these push the limit. but will pass. Larry

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
Larry, The gasket we had them look at is .330 out of the box. I will measure it after testing on the 6th to see what it compresses to after a couple of fuel and heat cycles.
