Damn smart bunch of guys...so far the three of you have hit some...
Jay got 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9. Congrats
Hotroddaddy got the VW battery location, #7
Lurker Mick got question 6, the El Camino was built on a Chevelle wagon floor pan so they covered the footwells with a bolt-in cover. You could hide stuff in there.
I added a bonus question to the list....
If I remember correctly, the '70 THM400 had a valve body that if it was in manual 1st, it would shift out of first to 2nd by itself under WOT when it hit the high pressure/redline.
OK, I got myself on the turbo 400 in the 70 Z/28.....I meant to ask about a 1969 Z/28 automatic.....Dwayne got me!!! Darn, my own questions got tough.....and I owned both a 69 and a 70 Z/28
Does this look familiar???
No wonder that one was hard.........LOL We all know the '67-'69 Z-28 was offered as a 4-speed only.Quote:

Isn't that a "Nauga"? Their hides were used in many 60's interiors. ;)Quote:

Pontiac interiors were "moroccohide", a species of Naugahyde from Morocco (I guess). Usually, the brochures had the dark red color

Mike, you just brought back a fond memory, when I was a kid, my parents had a '60s? Pontiac Grand Prix with the dark red interior you're speaking of. I also remember it had a reverb on the radio, Mom liked it but Dad didn't.........LOL
Thanks for the memory,
Mike
You seem to have been a "Pontiac man"...or a car salesman, at one time! :-)
Nobody got # 5 yet? The answer has to be AirLift, right?;) We used to put AirLift bags in the coil springs to adjust weight transfer. If you had leaf springs, you could buy a kit that had clamp-on perches and lightweight coil springs. You had to wedge the spring in between the axle housing and the frame, clamp the perch to the axle housing, and then inflate the AirLift bag. They really didn't change ride height much, but sure stiffened up the ride. They were also used in NASCAR in the late '50's.:rolleyes:
They were still available in the early '90's; don't know if they still are...:3dSMILE:
YEP, Airlift bags...you stuffed them inside the springs and
put air in them.....sometimes used as a poor man's posi.

TWO MORE
1. If I had a 65 Mustang and needed to look at the top side of my gas tank, what would I have to do to see it?
2. Some mechanics used to remember this by using the phrase "too young, too old, just right" What were they trying to remember? (I first heard this in 1964)
mike in tucson
1. Remove the rubber mat in the trunk - fuel tank was the trunk floor . . .
2. inline 6 cyl chev firing order 15 (too young), 36 (too old), 24 (just right)
Just for reference, I did a search and found out that AirLift is still in business (since 1950). They have a big website. Not only are they still making the original AirLift bags, but they also make modern air ride components...:cool: :D
Dang, Dwayne...you must be an old-timer!!!! Not many people would get the Chevy six firing order question....
I'm impressed.

Old school, when I started working on cars at the corner gas station, the owner would buy old Mopars, fix them and sell them. Desotos, Red Ram hemis, Firedomes, 6 cyl flathead Mopars, Savoys, etc. Got to work on alot of the early muscle - Furys, 442, '60's Chevs, Avanti - even got to work on a 48 Lincoln Zephur 4sdn with vacuum windows. It was a great time to work and learn. Those days are GONE !!!!!!
And here is more.....
1. Kingsford Charcoal Company was originally called what?
2. Who used the advertising slogan "a six for the price of four"?
3. What was Louis Chevrolet's brother's name?
4. What does WCFB stand for?
5....the tough one. A DC3 airplane had this on it. When you hear what it is, you will think of performance cars, drag racing, or NASCAR. What is it?
mike in tucson
3. Gaston Chevrolet
4. "white cast four barrel"
2. Chevrolet
1, Ford Charcoal, Henry Ford used wood from his plants to make charcoal.
Mike
Correct answers from Jay, Matt, and Mike....but nobody
answered the last one about the DC3 engine.
Well, I'd say supercharger that the DC3 engines had.

Hint: it is part of the fuel system
fuel lines?
fuel filter?
fuel pump?
keg tank?
air induction system?
fuel filter?
Turbo?
Six pack Carbs?:D
fuel injection?
Hilborn Air scoop?
Holley Carburetor, added to the DC3 engines in 1936. The Holley replaced the previously used Stromberg carbs.
Double pumpers?
Hey now six pack carbs wasn't too far out(I should have been more spec. with brand!):LOL:
