Default Re: "Mystery" Chevelle LS-6 in NEW Muscle Car Review???

Redeuce
I have nothing against Moon parts. I don't care what you guys decide to run. Just feel they do not accurately represent what guys were running on their musclecars back then. Street Rods yes however. I can accurately say I have read just about every hot rod type of publication between '68-'75. Never have I seen guys run Moon parts on their musclecars. Not to say that it did not happen sometime, somewhere.

There are two schools of thought regarding Day Two that Steve alluded to:. Some guys are happy running non correct retro parts and are just happy with that "close enough" look. The second group, which I happen to belong, will only use correct speed parts from the era. You also have to look at the usage of the particular part-how well does it represent the era. Faria tachs were avaialble back then but I would never run one. I do not feel that part is representative from the era.

"Daves List" was for the guy that wants to subscribe to the second group. Some of the blatent errors I have seen so to speak. It may also have hinted at some of my pet peeves which I admit.
