There were no "dyno sessions" back then. Dynos were not common or as regularly used by drag racers or their engine builders.
T/K did not have a dyno untill they moved to the place they were in for many years....and well after the Chevelle.... John Hoffman may have had a dyno in the old days but I am not sure....He built them and sold them.

Rich is correct, the shop in Piscataway was very small. The Greenbrook shop was where the dyno was put in by the mid 70s

LOL, don't laugh, our original "Red Alert" '70 LS6 Chevelle has fiber optics, rear defrost, power windows, console, etc...decked out for a friggin' race car. She's heavy, but she can still get 'em off the ground...

![]() We still have the Dick Gazan setup (that was later bought by Morrison?) on the car that Bill Stephensen had Dick install back in the late '80s/early '90s when he was match racing it regularly. I think that shot is before we put the new shocks on it, but it still has a little twist to it...we've checked and re-checked the rear setup, and it still twists a little? Our Nova leaves straight as a string, but not the Chevelle...!

I built engines for a racer who posts on here.....Ed Bigley....
He had a '68 Chevelle and it had Alf Wiebe rear suspension.....http://classracer.com/classforum/alb...pictureid=5258 The car went in the 9's on a small tire. It did big wheelstands on every pass on a decent starting line and there was no twisting of the front end..... I looked at the Wiebe bars and they are very trick.......I am not sure if he still makes and sells them though....
