Re: oil retention devices
I have already sent pictures of one of our SS/AH cars underneath. The real conflict as I see it is you can have oil retention or steering. I don't see both on one car. Today I am going to take pictures of Kevin Helms 69 Camaro 396 to see how much fun that would be. We asked for data on just how oil down's in S/SS are hurting before jumping into a decision (should I say mufflers). I and several others have expressed opinions on this matter to Bob Lang. It is being touted as a safety device and there is always a chance of getting oil on the rear tires from an engine problem. To me the bigger problem that I have asked for and documented for the last 15 years is steering on the Stock and especially SS that goes through the pan and headers. Add a nice wheelstand and 160 MPH. No we don't need rack-and-pinion steering!!! We average a couple of steering boxes a year on our cars. That is more of a safety hazard than oil in my opinion. Another knee-jerk reaction.
