4) a Clutch Hydro or a clutchflight
6) Cammel Hump
7) No points, start of HEI
8) 1965 ???
9) No regulators do to plexiglass windows

4. Hydrosticks
5. '57-'64 Olds/Pontiac
6. Camelhump heads
8. '65 (396)?
9. sequential turn signals
10. Operated with a seat belt, instead of a window mechanism.

Dwayne and Jay got quite a few of them:

4. B&M started with the beefed GM Hydramatic that they called Hydrostick

5. The Olds/Pontiac rear end was used way before the 9 inch Ford got popular

7. Chevys had the little window in the cap that let you adjust the point gap (dwell) without removing the cap. HEI did not get introduced until about 1974 (could be off a year)

8. QuadraJet introduced on the big block Chev and the OHC Pontiac six cyl

10. The lightweight cars had a seat belt strap with a snap to hold the window up. It had two positions, up or down.

I thought Skids answered that one with Line Lock in message #4

#4, we used an allen wrench or a drill bit
#9, They changed from leaded gas to unleaded gas????

NTFDAY already answered #1, but I grew up in Chattanooga,TN and spent a lot of time hanging out at Honest Charleys. Read this funny post about Honest Charley that I put in another thread, it's message #4.
