Sharing an interesting experienice

Yesterday dug out my 2 original -207 QJets kept in storage 40 years hoping to reinstall on the 1969 Impala.

Raced the Impala 1976 to 1981. Originally a Bob LaSala car.
Had to put it away and it sat.
Life changes, starting an IT Consulting Staffing company and raise 3 great kids.

1005 bought a new Impala SS and proceeded to bracket race and set up for IHRA Pure Stock. 2years ago moved the F/PS to J/SA.
But the 1969 Impala is still under reconstruction.

Answered an advertisement of a person looking for -207 QJet.
Which is when they got pulled out of storage.
One was Built by Bobby Warren the other WALee.
One got Rebuilt by Headworth.

What is interesting.
I have the original GM Box that WA Lee sent his Carburator.
Has the addressed sticker on the box.
Sales slip in plastic envelop dating 1/25/1985.

It was a blast from the past.
As if nothing changed, but everything else did.

May be able to finish the 69 Impala later this year.
Collected all the parts.
Got help and just needs assembly.
Even have the original Moroso Copper Plated Valve Covers and Air Filter.
