Default Re: Deb's/Ralph Ridgeway '55 Chev C/MP car.....

Ralph's first Ridgerunner was for sale in early 1968. I saw a picture of it somewhere.

Ralph told me that Vic Edelbrock was looking over his shoulder during the 1967 Nationals in September at the vette doghouse national record holder 55 chevy 302cuin small block.

Edelbrock 'Announcing a new concept in manifolding' was the big ad in the April 1968 Hot Rod Magazine, page 18. A 1-2 month delay means a Feb - Mar release for the TR1.

The July 1968 HRM had Weiand 'Presents the BREATHER' ad on page 15... the Weiand may have been available May - June 1968.

Ralph was first....
