    This popped up on a you tube channel yesterday. 56 Chevy, ran D/Gas around the Southern California area in the late 60's up until around 1971, fuel injected, Packard tail lights. Owner passed away and it's been garaged away for the last 60 years or so. Be interesting to know the history. Packard taillights and the radius wheel wells are pretty distinctive. Early SBC with the staggared valve covers. Enderle injection?

    Looks like the Enderles that I had starting 1963. It was my only car for a few years. Injector problem was that they didn't have any way to self-adjust to air pressure and temperature night or day, so you'd run a compromise jet. Never got around to the then, for me, expensive "Dial-A-Jet" deal that the sprint cars were using.

    It's got the 9 fin vette valve covers with breathers added.

    I think it’s a pretty cool machine! Definitely like the tuck&roll.Guess they never heard of Rajah spark plug ends? That top rad hose looks like it came from the same school of thought as mine: IMG_3691.jpeg
