I don't get it....you sprung for the M40 and power steering, but wouldn't get the Cowl Induction...what kind of drag racer are you??

A damned poor one; by any definition! Actually, I ordered the car without PS but "Sly Ol' Fox" threw it on the spec sheet for some reason. Still a thorn in my side, the belt likes to depart around 6K!

When I ordered this car I was working for the Highway Dept. for about $3/hr; living in a trailer in my In-law's back yard. A year and a half later we parked the Chevelle and bought a '68 427 Corvette. (It was a 4 speed, and Yes, we were still in the trailer! I had my priorities straight even back then.) I knew I wanted the LS-6 powerplant and since the $ were short, I was willing to give up all the bells and whistles to get it. No CI, no buckets, no gauge pkg, no clock, etc. Aside from the PS, I'd do the same thing again. The CY M-40 is a hell of a tranny but I might opt for the M-22 this time.

Guys, if I get a second tomorrow, uh, I mean "today", I'll see if I can dig up the article and the part #. No promises, as it's after 2am now, and we still have to finish buttoning up the L-72 in the Camaro, load, mount some tires....

But, if I don't get to it today, I'll do it first thing after the Reunion.

<font color="blue"> Again Dennis, cool story, just having some fun with you...glad to see you've hung onto the car all these years. How many years was the LS6 parked? BTW, the power steering may be a hinderance on the track, but it makes driving the car in and out of the garage a chore. Love the black, by the way. </font>
