    I'll try #3- Chili Cattallo's 32 coupe had a swastika on the blower drive snout, but I'm not sure you could see it on the album cover.

    WOW, some real old timers out there!!!

    Dwayne and Jay got quite a few of them:

    Lurker Mick got the toughest one....on the blower drive.

    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.

    Anyone on LL? Tech should know this one....from his drag racing experience.

    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.
