Thanks Johnny, and you're right those were the days! If I would have known making a fwd mfi Chevrolet competitive in Stock would' ve been as much of a challenge as it has been, I would have bought my '76 Vega back, and tried to follow the success of George Williams, as he aided my desire to buy one by the way he was able to make a non-V8 Vega a winner. I won the '77 Memorial Day High School Drags at Bandimere's with mine, and several other races in '79 as well (along with a semi-final finish @ the '79 D5 ET Finals in Street Eliminator). It sure would' ve been easier to make competitive...no computer to fight with, and headers were made for their 4cyl engines too!
