Default Blue Bobcat Sender Unit

I think I have figured out why the sender unit looks ackward in that underneath shot of the Blue Bobcat. After looking over the March 1969 Super Stock that covered the 350 HO Firebird, I saw this engine shot. Although the nylon tubing cannot be seen on the Blue car, I'll bet Milt and crew did this type set up on cars to allow both the factory and a mechanical oil gauge to work.

I was really hoping this was a 69 WY, as you can see from this photo it is a 68 timing cover. Chances are it's a 68 block to go with the code, still leaves the questions of how and way.

This does not in anyway distract from the cars importance to Pontiac history, in my opinion. Just a strange piece of the puzzle.

All I can say it, I can't wait to read it and I hope the publishing problems disappear.

Thanks Keith.

Uh...again, I reiterate: there is NO publishing problem.

McFarland's sales rep called me this morning and guaranteed a Dec. release.
