thanks Nick, i scanned all them pics at 1200 dpi and our photoshop guy at work is making a poster out of the 4 pics. were putting them side by side and top to bottom, plan on going about 24" tall by 32" wide with it. it will be 35mm photo quality. i work in a print shop so it will be practice for him and a freebie for me.

I bought my Camaro in 1996. Like Gary said mine is unrestored too. it had one repaint in the early 80`s but still looks ok for it`s age. the car looks the same as when I bought it in 1996, lost the pics I had scanned so I don`t have any to post.

I live in Minnesota so we have had plenty of snow (40 plus inches so far) and more below zero nights than i can remember. So much for global warming i would say. Well stay warm guys, this cold weather gives us more shop time right ?

i guess foot note #2 pretty much summed it up, thanks for the heads up on that Ed, that is one of the reasons i joined this site. The reason i asked was my carb had been milled at some point before i got the car. I bought the car with an 850 Holley and single plane intake but the seller had to have it back and gave me the stock carb and intake in return but it is still in need of rebuilding. I brought the carb to a race car driver/engine builder and he noticed the milling right away. He said the shafts that the butterflies went on were milled down. I had read the rumor about that time and thought it was how it should be. Well i guess not, so now it`s time for the carb to go on a visit to Jerry M to get it back to how it should be.  I am running an out of the box 750 cfm Holley for now so i can use the car but want it as it should be. Thanks for the input guys, stay warm. Im freezing here in Minnesota and can`t wait to get my Z out for some summer fun.

i read on the internet a few years back ( i know, don`t believe what you read on the net) that DZ carbs were milled out to a true 800 cfm by Chevrolet. i would guess the reason being truth in advertising ? was wondering if that rumor is true ?
