Yep, it's a racheting shifter. No way it can miss as long as you just pull back once for each gear change. The 57 Nomad was a F Gas car with a 10,000 rpm plus 287 inch engine, so the Bieber shifter eliminated the possibility of not having the gear changes happen. That could have been catastrophic.

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
My buddies ran a G/MP or F/G, 57 wagon back in the 70's-early 80's. 288 cubes 50 lb. flywheel, Nash 4 speed with a 3.00 first gear with a 6.17 ring and pinnion. Set the record in G/MP at Suffolk, Virginia around 1976 or so at 11.33. Don't think the Bieber really caught on around here but Modified Eliminator did.

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
Anyone running G/MP in Pennsylvania had to be a masochist, what with Paul Blevins just down the road to contend with. My friend was running G/MP also, until NHRA started teching for windshield wipers. Seems the tunnel ram and carbs interfered with the wiper motor. The easy solution was to take off the front bumper and run gas class. Shortly after, say around 1972, he got married.... and there went the drag racing program.

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
yes, Paul Blevins was right here in Jersey. Lot of G/MP cars around then. Hildebrandt and Suriano beat CJ Batten in Bowling Green in 1976. Pete Smith won the class at the Sport Nats that year I believe. The Wop Shop boys in Texas were pretty fast. They had Lee Shepherd and Dave Nickens helping them. They learned to run fast with those small motors in the heat!

You and that scoop are old neighbors...it is from Fastglass/Manufacturers Associates/Legendary Fiberglass in eastern PA in your neck of the woods. Town started with a W but can't remember it off the top of my head. You can tell by the distinctive curvature on the front edge and the top rear upper edge. AA's were straight across. |

Very cool Don. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Sun green line gauges came out before the blue line and are harder to find?? I was on eBay a couple of years ago and a seller was selling an item and in the background was a set of Sun green line gauges. I asked if they were for sale and needless to say they are in my car.
