I called Jim Skelly who was, at the time working in Ca. for the Tech Dept. to get a legal intake # and Jim told me "don't build the car, it's a mistake". Jim was going to bring to Dave Danish's(?) attention and fix it. It never got fixed. So not "anyone" else could have done it and I did my car years before Bob did his.
I don't know exactly what happened and what ensued but it sure doesn't seem to me to deserve that kind of a penalty! And it really shouldn't matter whether he was, is or has been "skirting the system" anyway. He should only be penalized for what he was caught doing at the time.

So Holier than Thou Billy Nees would knowingly build a bogus combination? Really! Then I find it quite hypocritical you would arrange a meeting with NHRA about AMC parts you perceive as "bogus." Why would you not have marched into NHRA proving the Olds 260 4bbl was "bogus?" Because obviously it served your needs. I'd always heard (from numerous sources) it was you that got the Olds 260 4bbl removed from the books. Now I 'm hearing different. Hmm interesting..
A previous post you said the 283 - 327 intake needed to be "corrected". What progress have you made with NHRA on the removal of that "bogus" part?
What parts are next in your catalog?
