thanks for the 66 283 combo,

Thanks Terry

How the 67 Shelby got so wrong is still a mystery (JimSkelly) ?

Larry, I don't think that ANYBODY realizes how many "mistakes" are really in the guide and they certainly don't just pertain to Shelbys! Maybe I'll sit down on a boring day and make me a "top 10" list.

I'll get some popcorn.

Billy maybe your list should be titled "Look What Santa Brought''.

1. 1968 L88 Chevy carb on the 67 Shelby.

Hey Larry, hope you and Patty had a happy holiday. FYI the carb is a 1967 L88 carb, NOT a 1968. That was the only good carb Mr Shelby could find back in those days. Anyway, hope to see you at the races this year, with both of our "bogus" cars. One new, one old.

Bill Hawk it will be great to see you and the rest of the team in 2011, but not in the other lane. Good luck on the new car.

Bill just one question, how does the 1984 spec. not include the 1967 L88 carb?
