New engine quiz

another old guy gets 19...

For any of you who missed the Studebaker Avanti, I wasn't sure about it until I noticed the chrome spark plug/plug wires shields. One other car had those - the Corvette.

A fiberglass car doesn't block radio frequency (RF) waves so the wires were enclosed in metal so the radio could be heard without static.

I remember seeing one of these quizzes a while back with a picture of a single 4 barrel W-block. You had to decide whether it was a 348 or 409. As I remember, the oil dipstick is on different sides. That's a tough one.

Larry I can understand you missing the 428 motor, you never get to see the front end of a 428 car, maybe they should show the rear bumpers. LOL!!!!!!!! You and family have a great year.
