Hi: my name is Rocky Jordache ,in case you don't know me. I am the founder of the
company 21tek -- at 21tek.com where you can read my about my auto experience.
The 64 supersport in the pic was equipped exactly like the beach boys song. My dual quad ,
4speed ,4:11 ,positraction 409. or something like that. Anyhow i had jetted the carbs up
curved the dist. and removed one of the two head gaskets that the 64 came with and
just put one new one back on. This really picked it up. I had lake pipe type cutouts that you
can see in the pic. And Mickey Thompson alum mags. very rare and expensive back in the day. I only raced that car twice at the strip both with only street tires. It only turned very low
13's as i recall because it would spin the tires and leave long black tire marks through
third gear. But man was it fun.The car i owned prior to the 64 was a 62 chevy SS convert.
with the 327 -300 horse engine. It also had a 4:11 gear ,but i worked at a SOHIO gas station
and had purchased some 8:00 series Caddy atlas Bucron soft rear tires .and that car would
also turn low 13's even though it was a much lower class. Something you young guys should know about the w engines. Once the got to about 5000 rpm you could not tell by the sound of the engine how high you were revving ,because the pitch of the engine sound barely changed .You could not tell if you were at 5000rpm or 7000, And many people blew their engines because of this. Those were the days.
