Last one for now...

MY FIRST TIME SLIP FROM OCIR DATED JULY 21 1982.
Not bad for an 8.5 to 1 compression 402 big block running on UNLEADED gas, through the mufflers on street tires.

It only got faster(and more expensive) from there!

Bruce, you're killin' me with these flashbacks. Gold Moroso valve covers and air cleaner on your 402! That is SO 1982. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Gold Moroso engine dress up kit...brought to you by Super Shops of California....I had to work for a week to afford those! They stayed on the car for a years worth of cruise time. I also added the LS/7 decals to the side of the car(above the side marker lights) for about a month. Sure raised some eyebrows at cruise nights!

Yeah, I remember scraping together the money to buy chrome Moroso valve covers for my small-block/4-speed '67 Camaro. I was running solid lifters and the clatter came through those thin valve covers loud and clear. I bought my Moroso covers at Vic Hubbard Speed and Marine in Hayward, CA, and I think I paid $45 for them in 1981.

Nova..was the BANE of street racers in socal. The guy would DRIVE it to OCIR, run mid to high 9's the way it looks in this photo, and DRIVE it home. Was a "big" small block running an 1150 dominator carb!! It took him a year to dial the car in. He actually ran some of the pro gas brackets to have fun. Right after this photo was taken, he had to install a full cage.
It was amazing to watch.

Hey, in 1983 I bought a Crane cam and lifters at Service Center in Oakland! That place was like a Toys R Us for street machiners. Bruce, you're like the "wayback machine" with these photos.
