  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    There you go great detective work from Brad and Duane. Did Ross say that the intake with an air rail was still on the car or had a 70 intake been inserted?

    All Riv's, of this vintage, had their last 6 digits of the VIN begin with "9", ie: 9xxxxx.

    doh! :Dou:

    it's been too long since i've worked on building my VIN spreadsheet ... i knew that already.

    stupid, stoopid bob.

    i would imagine that some engines were pulled from the rack for teardown & checking of its components. it could then, as a project, been built up to stage 1 specs for furthur testing & then placed back in the rack to install in the next vehicle.
    another thing that used to happer in car plants is that if u had a good friend working the line & he knew when your vehicle was being built, your friend could see to it that your car received a few free options!

    In this case you could not have a 1972 engine that was not yet even made installed in a 1970 model car in 1970.

    This thread is precisely the reason why you need to do your homework before seeing one stamping and believing.
