Noland Adams who wrote a number of technical and restoration books on Corvettes passed away last Wednesday. Noland was a kind man who was very gracious with all of his information and documentation. When I lived in Sacramento in the early 90's, he signed one of his books in my garage.

Later, we went to look at a very rare 1967 Corvette with a 427/400 horsepower engine. The owner claimed that the stamp was originally IL for a 427/390 horse and the factory over stamped it to JC for a 427/400 horse motor. Noland looked at it and said "that's entirely possible, but my notes from 1974 show this as an undisturbed 427/390 IL stamp 17 years ago". What could the seller say???

He was a good person.
