History What was your 1st piece of Speed Equipmet

A Moon Equip fuel block and clear red fuel lines mounted on the firewall of my 38 Buick with 2 chrome 97's on a 41 manifold.

 

Headers and a set of cherry bombs

 

Edelbrock Performer Carb.

 

a holley high rise manifold and some chevy small block headers. hookers?

 

was 14 in 1962 had a 55 ford fairlane 2 door with a 312 v8, traded an old gocart for a 3 duce offy setup with 3 stromberg 97s, dont think we ever got it running right but sure was cool for a kid down at the drive in burger joint.

 

Hurst Mystery Shifter for my '55 Chev

 

A used set of Edelbrock heads for 24 stud flathead

 

Hurst "Mystery" Shifter in my Chev Htp. That was 46 years ago.................wow, how time
flys!

 

I'm with Moonman.... 1963, had an Almquist slingshot manifold add-on.

 

This was my first speed part too. Coast-Coast Hardware store for 24.99 in 1973. My 56 chev didn't go any faster either but it did get me a new engine quicker >>>>.

headman headers and a set of flowmasters on my 72 chevy c10 when i was 15 but that only lasted a month. I came home fron school and told my dad i got beat by a hona civic. the next day i had a 383 stroker sitting in our garage. Those damn ricers never touched me again.

 

Holley intake and carb for the 283 in my 60 Chevy when I was 16.

Same here.

Mine was a '61 sunroof Bug that I inherited from my dad back in '75, it had a freshly rebuilt '64 1500 Bus engine in it (rebuilt by yours truly at age 15).

My header came with a bitchin' chrome glasspack muffler, I scored it for $30 at a local speed emporium.

 

I made an adaptor for a 2bbl carb on my 58 Ford 6cyl. in 1964. Ran like shit.

 

twin SUs on a genny mini cooper manifold, to put on my MINI MOKE!

haha. that thing was really fast...to my uneducated sixteen year old mind.

 

a blower manifold for a SBC i was like 15 and really did'nt know what it was ,,lol

 

A Thickston highrise 2X2 for my flattie . Never installed it , blew the engine up first .

 

I had two on one side of my ride not two on the back.... I was legit

 

Edelbrock performer intake for 289 Ford in '65 Fairlane 500. $30 dollars used!

 

My foot

 

Mine was not really speed equipment , a glass pack on a 41 Dodge Luxury Liner coup with fluid drive for "that" sound.

 

Dixico Tach for my 68 Pontiac LeMans. Fit right where the optional clock would go.

 

I went on a diet and lost 5 pounds!

 

i got a two stroke villiers lawn mower motor given to me @ age 13. i had local garage weld enginemount into my pushbike frame with big plans to speed around my small town. pulled that engine apart and put it back together heaps with no help. anyway, i couldnt figure out the gearing right so it never did go fast. not exactly hotrod equipment, but my attempt @ speed.

 

Aluminum mags for the rear of my dart

 

I did that at 12 ,I pulled a villiers from a lawnmower and bunged it in my cousins chain drive three wheeler ,it ran fast...about 30 mph,way to fast for a 3 wheeler! i have a picture somewhere. The three wheeler would have fetched 5 figures today...my uncle bought it for her in 1948 and it had a little trunk on the back like a car.
I then put the engine in my brothers trolley and went even faster,a neighbours kid got chased by the local cop at 35mph in a 30 zone....

 

Three carb manifold for my 39 Ply. back in 56.
