Rochester Pontiac FI…..neet!

 

was it vastly diff than the vette/rochester??

 

Worked on the same principles, still need Manometer to tune it.

 

i guess my better question would be why does it look so much more 'spread out' than a vette rectangle box

 

The Pontiac Fuel Injection is completely different than the Corvette Fuel Injection, even though they do work on the same principle. I don't think any parts will interchange between the two, But somebody correct me if I'm wrong. My Dad's 40 Chevy had the Corvette Fuel Injection on it.

 

Nicely done.

 

Hello,

Having used 8mm to 16mm color movie film to 35mm negatives and slides, one always prefers the larger image for absolute clarity. The 8mm film was advertised to families as a great point and shoot camera. But the results were, well, 8mm grainy, colorless and overall ****py. The 16mm camera was so much better, but not pushed as a family camera due to expensive developing costs. It did not appeal to most families due to the cost and larger cameras.

If one looks at 8mm, the film is actually about the size of 1.5 pencils wide. Yes, the 16mm I double the size, but now it allows more area for better images. In handling 35mm film negative, one can see the larger format allows clarity that the 8mm struggles to do in such small sizes. No wonder the film industry used the 35mm film negatives for all movie theater film showings. Have you ever seen a 70mm version of any movie? Wow, such precision and advances. It is like being right in that action on the screen.

Ever tried to see the actual image on an 8mm negative or film strip? Holding it up to a light source? Break out the “magnifier times 4” to get a 35mm size for clarity.

Now, as the still photograph industry moved to the larger 35mm cameras, the image quality was outstanding. Despite the size, lots of families started buying those cameras for the quality. The film industry started with 16mm film and when the larger 35mm film was developed, most Hollywood movies had filmed in the larger images from that point on. Then 70mm and now digital.

But, when most production companies started to use the larger 35mm movie films, the color and b/w images were so much clearer for all movie goers. Now, the next step was the larger 70 mm film advances. Finally, the digital imaging is now creeping into the whole programs and the cameras are magical wonders of photography. Some of those cameras for the ordinary folks start at $2000 range and work their way up to 35k for the large big name company products. YRMV

So, the looks of the above photo edited:

If it was a 35mm film used in this movie from Bonneville, (the size of the two mouse ear cans looks to be 35mm )

The big question is:

Where is that film that would show that RPU blasting by at speed, in crystal clarity, NOW?

 

One way to make a chopped lowrider
Yikes!

 

And you thought your day started out bad?

 

Especially like the 32 roadster with the clever quarter window treatment.

 

Al Rogers inducted to the 1969 Portland Roadster Show Hall of Fame with his 1929 Ford. Check out the 27 T with Chrysler/DeSoto tailfins. I don't remember much about this car. It appears to have Oregon blue plates. Any Oregon guys know more about it?

 

"Especially like the 32 roadster with the clever quarter window treatment."

There's good reason the factory-built roadsters had the angle built it them -- they can get damaged and even blown away. Yes, mine did.

 

I do not.
I was there though, went there in my 61 Impala, didn't have my drivers license yet so my buddy drove us there, was the first car show I had ever been to, was like a kid in a candy store.

 

Perhaps it was Alex Xydias' feature film "The Hot Rod Story". I have the tape of this film, I'll try to go through it and see if this shot is in there. (if it didn't get cut).

Only @40ragtopdown can do it like this.
Yeah there's many others,
