Boys,
I was going through my old magazine road tests from 1969/70, and according to the editors the Z/28 and Boss 302s were almost equal on street performance (Not talking about the T/A cars). You agree?

Garage Talk / Oops, thats gonna hurt.

A 1971 429CJ Mach-1 was destroyed by a transport company. It pays to have adequate insurance. This could happen to us. Images may be disappointing.

Garage Talk / Is 1969 the 'best' year in the 20th Century?

« on: July 27, 2020, 11:20:56 PM »

Boys,
An informal poll. Do you agree that 1969 is the 'best' year in the 20th Century? Historians say it is because:
Cars
Music
Science aka Apollo Moon landing
Medicine
Creation of the internet
Fashion
Culture
Hi-Tech
Movies/TV

Trans-Am Camaros / '70 T/A carbs/cfm

« on: July 10, 2020, 01:31:43 AM »

Jon (and others),
For the 1970 Trans-Am, I was wondering as this was discussed on another forum and hopefully we can get some answers: Were there any rules implying a limit on cfm for the single carb rule? I am aware no Dominators were to be used and 'exotic' stuff like Ford's Inline carb set ups. Thanks ahead for any input.

Garage Talk / Harbor Freight jack stand recalls

« on: May 26, 2020, 07:02:05 PM »

Boys,
On some of the other car sites I visit, there is a warning concerning the Harbor Freight 3 ton jack stands. Apparently, they can fail, and there is a safety recall. I suggest you google the 'recall warning' to see if you have any.
