Is the Chinook Chrysler auto LO still the "highest/last" VIN found so far?

I am only aware of a total of 2 runs on these cars Dave. Mark will have to answer your second question

Guys, there were 3 runs of Darts - 2 runs of Barracudas. I can't say why but the VIN #'s are sequential in each of these runs.
Daryl, can you email me Dan Morgan's email - I have some pics to send him
Dave, did you get the present I gave Daryl?
Daryl, Let Don know that I will get his copies out soon.

Dave,
Yes the Chinook is the last VIN on record so far...

Great picture!

Cool valve covers. Are the removable sections around the plugs see thru? Great for quick inspection of springs, push rod cups,rockers etc which are so stressed in these engines which see 9500. Would speed up pre-start up lubrication routine as well.

The see through parts are not removable, at least easily. There are 12 screw plus O rings. The racer still removes the whole cover for inspection and valve adjustment, spring replacement, etc.

Check out he removable section on the inner pannel. What a great idea to get at hedder bolts when working . Wish I had thought of it as hedders and there bolts were a bitch to get to when replacing a head or whole engine. Bet this cuts off a lot of time in the process

Got question for you.
Before the SS/AH guys fire up they're cars first thing of the day, are they pulling the covers & lubing the valve train before they fire them up?

I see Chuck has an accumulator. Are all the guys using this for pre lubing the valve train before fire up? Or, just for bearing oiling?

This is where I put mine
