Joe - My 1970 Mustang also has a Holley 4150 780 carburetor, which runs great, although it can be somewhat hard to start if I haven't driven it in awhile.

Although there were not any photos of Wiseman's Camaro in the book "Trans-Am The Pony Car Wars 1966 - 1972" by Dave Friedman, Wiseman placed 16th at the 1971 Trans-Am race at Lime Rock and 10th at Mid-Ohio.  Great photo of the former Trans-Am car today!

Hi Gents, Just purchased Al Mason Z28. I'm looking for any pictures or details of its ownership between 1971 and 1983. Looking for the original engine as well.

Joe - Other than the part number 134-103 stamped on the 4053 front fuel bowl, I believe the only other item found on the fuel bowl would be the patent numbers (photo is from a CRG photo from a 1967 Holley carburetor):

General Discussion / Re: What is a zone car?

Stumbled across this and figured I'd add something. I did a Muscle Car Docs, NCRS report for a friend's 65 Malibu SS Z16 that I'm helping him restore,...and instead of having a dealer name and code, it came back with "0 ZONE 32" and "Chevrolet Zone Office" which was designated as in Cambridge MA.

That makes sense since the car ended up at, and sold out of, Beecroft Chevrolet in Cranston RI

What a maroon (intentional misspelling to protect the guilty). I agree with everything mentioned above,I've gotten to the point where preservation is more worthy than a trailered, over restored car. Hope they add a FoMoCo Radiator Warning Tag when finished, so it'll be perfect.

JMO -

The older I get, the more I appreciate un restored or survivor cars, or ones that have just had regular fender bender repairs to them along their 60 year life span. Not to mention,...lets not forget how much money is saved "not"  restoring one of these cars.
