Loc: Beaumont, CA,
I have a set of smog tubes that I acquired from Jerry MacNeish years ago. The passenger side tube is rare and built specifically for the Cowl Plenum installation.The passenger side tube sweeps 90 degreees in the direction of the tube itself pointing to the smog pump. It also starts its sweep at the firewall end of the tube to allow room for the hose to connect to the smog pump The drivers side is the same.

Crap..I was there and didn't think to look at it. Did you look at the low mile green L78 in the Vintage certification area ? I will post pics when I get them downsized.The gloss in your pic looks the same. Very glossy, not satin or semi. Just a tiny bit duller than full gloss.

However, there will not be a Camaro Nationals presented by the ACA. "If that doesn't sound like, play our way or no way, I don't know what does."

I didn't read it that way at all. They said they were going elsewhere and he agreed that they wouldnt be at Carlisle. Is the big bitch from the Camaro Club that they were being parked away from the building where the indoor judging is ? I think I was told that that area is for vendors just like at other Carlisle shows. Is that correct ?

I would like whoever made the statement to name one car owner in that building that was paid to bring his car.

"Here's a couple of examples for you. Did you know that owners were paid to bring cars in the garage outside the fairgrounds??? People like myself and Larry Christensen own some of the rarest cars known to the hobby. We don't charge anything to bring our cars there. I brought out my 1967 Z28 NHRA National recording holding Z28 for all to see. "THE YENKO EATER." It's the fastest NHRA stock eliminator 302 Z28 in the world......and restored like a show car! I am glad to bring it for all to see. FREE! Larry Christensen has brough THE 1969 Indy pace that paced the race.........does it all for free. But yet others are being paid to bring in cars......and cars that don't rise to the pedigree of what our organization brings to the table. Ken Lucas, Larry Christensen and Bob Harris restore the nicest Camaros in the world.........and they are at the ACA Camaro Nats for all to see. I'm only touching the tip of the iceberg. You have no idea on the issues that go on behind closed doors............

Jerry "

So far I can't find anyone that knows of anyone that was paid to bring their cars to the Solid Lifter Showroom that Supercar Workshop put together. Are facts being distorted because of a beef between parties ? All I have heard is good reviews of that showroom so how is that a bad move by Carlisle Productions ? Tony L has displayed a good portion of the cars in that room and did it on his nickel. Where is his check ? Exactly who got paid ? I don't think they charge to get in so it seems like a nice attraction to me.

Alot of times they might leak because of something as simple as loose screws. Can you see where it is leaking from ? If you gently tighten the 4 float bowl screws on each end of the carb you might stop the leak.
