?Hi Pete. Unfortunately, vehicle/engine specifications including part numbers are not readily available for past model GM cars. NHRA also requires submitting parts and they could be difficult to track down after more than 10 years of being out of production. Sorry I couldn?t be of more help.?

Both NHRA AND CARS MANUFACTURERS are missing the boat here, with this best way to attrack new young people to NHRA Stock category.
I'm not sure of the willing of both partners to resolve this issue.
