The fins on the Fitch really have no purpose other than styling. Although air does pass through the center of them. Fitch
claims no functional purpose.
Fitch engine mods:
400ci cars: low pressure exhaust,headers,throttle linkage, & on automatic cars a modified shifter (not sure how),Judson 30k volt coil.

OHC Sprint car: Hotter cam, 30k volt Judson coil, true dual exhaust, Fitch started to make his own supercharger for it but never finished it.

The Fitch package cost about $1000 more than the sticker price of a comparable optioned Firebird.
The OHC cam car is fun to drive. 6500 rpm red line, backed by a 4 speed with a 3.11:1 first gear. Fitch being a road racer preferred the OHC car saying it had the power you needed most of the time and the 400 just made the car more nose heavy. I feel the OHC car can stay with any v8 0-60mph, but doesn't have the top end.

My car from the factory had rally gages, hood tach, tilt, wood wheel,am/fm, console, trim group,deluxe int, deluxe seat belt w/shouder straps, radial tires floor mats. The billing history shows it was billed to the Pontiac Engineering dept and given to Fitch to develope his package.

Thanks for the comments, Rick
