I think that Hurst alignment pin was 1/4 inch. I remember using a 1/4 inch long bolt because I lost the pin for mine.

As for the pipe cap cutouts, you had to put grease on the threads or the cap wouldn't come off easily. They were also a bear to reach under there, especially when hot.

Still some answers open

What model of Atlas tire was known for being sticky and giving good traction?

In the early NHRA stock eliminator days, why did guys run mufflers and tailpipes?
Yep, it was a rule

What did you used to use Pledge for? Actually, it could be used on the dash board too as a poor mans Armor All. Drag racers used it on the quarter panels


Why did Jr. Stock guys run a front license plate? NOBODY KNOWS? I'll bet Tech remembers


How many head gaskets did Chevy put on a 425 HP 409 head from the factory? This is an easy one.


What size pin did you use to align your Hurst shifter (Hurst sold the alignment pin) I think it was 1/4", I will have to measure mine. The real hurst tool was an "L" shaped rod...a bolt
was a tad looser fit. Even with the OEM Hurst shifters without the stops, the linkage adjustment was much better using the pin.


In AHRA, you could have multiple classes labeled “A/Stock” Why? What was their
highest “formula”? NO AHRA guys?
