Default Re: Things you were bounced for in the olden days when there

Harsh Warning from Jerry Valentine D6 pts race - 1979 - we had a '67 Chevy II Post that we changed into a '66 (to run the 4-jet 283") J/SA... hindsight said we should have built a q-jet 327" for the car, and left it as the '67)... any way Jerry didn't like these....

- Dual Master Cylinder in place of the o.e.m. single... Replaced w/ o.e.m. single

- Didn't like the Seat Back Lock / safety lever... made us remove the lever right then & there, and put black electrical tape over the slot in upholstery

- too many small factory holes in the firewall... silicone had just become avail... smeared that over the holes

- Too much clearance around the fender-well headers... Added shields over headers

- Thought the narrow, hardly would fit, 7" wide Centerlines put the rear tires (firestone 28.5x9) too close to the inner wheel house... ( now most '66-'67 Chevy II's "Stockers" are running 8"-9" wheels with all kinds of clearance / deep offset, and room for a FULL 30"x9" or bigger???

**The things that are accepted today.... Boy how things have changed.
