Sweet car, Frank. Had a friend with dual quads on his 62 Corvette with those plastic fuel lines. Caught on fire, burned the lines, and the electric fuel pump just kept pumping gas into the fire. X minus one shower stall....... Tried balancing out a 6 deuce setup on a log manifold on a friend's car years ago. What a nightmare. Neat stick shift 1950 Olds 88 conv. Would really run wide open, but about nothing else.
John, Take a look at mine next time, the distributor's in the back like a, er, oh, eh...........................Gawd, this is hard to say, Chevy. Yuck. They changed the location on the FE's, and later motors until the newer modulars which have no distributor. (How do you set the points in those?) Dave, I think this thing is more WOW than useful, sure is pretty though. I had a U-Fab on a Buick nailhead powered '52 Pontiac with six 97's. Everthing but the dome light leaked, finally took it off and put the OE WCFB setup back on. Ran better with that. Didn't impress the kiddies at the drive in as much though. Dave, what was supposed to be different in the head castings, and who made them, Came from Central Foundry, Did Dick Maskin have something to do with this?
Frank: See PM. Speaking of W31's........................... By the way anybody see this? Congrats to Scott Pierce!.......and he races it in F.A.S.T.
that is cool.... My dad brought home one of those Trans Am Tirebirds for a week.... I wish I had some of the old pictures of it and the Corvette parked in the garage......
I honestly don't remember that. Was it 10 years ago? Seems like thats when I was helping with that. And from talking with you and looking and working on my car, I've gain a tremendous amount of knowledge on W-31, especially 69 (since I have one) and 70 (since I've been toying with getting one). Like I said, I've since tried a couple times to get that FAQ corrected/updated, but it always seems to have fallen on deaf ears, so I gave up.
Thanks, Dave for posting. Good insight, not only into the W program specifically but overall how GM did special programs back then... (...well, and now, too, I suppose....) K
