Eventually it will be an X33 or X77 car. Give it 1 or 2 more auctions.

At this point is should be an X86!

It is the secondary piston stop.  See 5-16 of the 1969 Service Maunal.

Well I'll be dipped in doo doo.

Neither of the two MC I have have that screw still in them.

JohnZ write up about GM workers not being permitted 
to go through the hole in the wall to Fisher is pretty funny. Almost like 39th parallel.

38th?

Did John identify as a South Korean? lol

Ironically, its for sale at the site of the Camaro Nationals...  anyone see it?

I did see it. It was in the center display area right behind the girl taking names at the entrance.

I’ve probably got some photos of it on my go pro.

Thanks I'll give them a call..

If you don't mind, could you post feedback about their services? I've got an original set of 67s I need to get work done on.

It was at the Speedway during the race making it a 'Festival' car.

I thought the festival cars were actually on the track and got the gold festival sticker. From what I've read the "Official cars" were used to transport people around the city and not actually on the track for the festival.

SS stamp on engine pad is interesting..

That puzzled me as well.

I saw the document that said it was an Official Car but not a festival car. I didn't know there were official cars.

« on: July 01, 2024, 05:12:39 PM »

Well, it doesn't look like they can make it. They don't have the connector with the two tangs on it.

Tim,

Unfortunately we are not able to make this harness.
We do not have the connector with the 2 tangs (the broken one in your photo).

Does anyone have any idea who makes that connector?

An addition question on this harness extension.

What did they "normally" do with the extra brown brake wire? On my original the boot was gone but the wire was there.

I'm wondering if they normally cut it and tape it to the harness like they did on the heater blower motor wire when a unit had AC.
