It's not spam, I'm just an old rodder and a user of Pocket Wizard products. Sorry I thought some of you would find it interesting. I first ran...

Never saw one in the 1950s/1960s at Nixon's/Whirleys or Harvy's. But I did see a Tail-Dragger 32 Roadster at a Kustom Show in Baltimore in 1960. I...
I'm a little late to this thread, but I did build a 265 way back in 1959. A good bore size is 1/16 (.0625) or .060 over for 274 cid. I ran 13.0:1...

Fenton was a Bargain Basement brand, something you'd buy at Pep Boys. Not really racing heads like Edelbrock, Evans, Navarro, Sharp, etc. If they...
I ran Bonneville in 1959 with a C (184-305 cid) Coupe and Sedan. That was a Fuel class, the same car with a gas engine would have been C...
