We did set the record there on a conservative run. Good air here is 500-1000 ft, averages 15-2000 ft. You have a hard time trying to hook and not shake everything off the car with killer air in a B/ED. Wind at Sonoma is also a big factor, big headwinds. Hey Rob, did you get the e- mail?

Ok Camaro guys, Did the 69 SS 427 holley come with the baffel aluminum plate and gasket? Looking through the books and do not see one so I figured you would know.

Yea, the chevy dealer here calls it a baffel but it is a heat shield. I see it was on the 70's and the Q jet but haven't found any other info. BP

I believe the Holley carbed, Manual trans.,Solid lifter engine cars that were sold NEW in Calif. & Neveda ONLY got that Heat shield in 1969.For 1970,all solid lifter engines with both Auto.& Man, Trans got those.It was part of RPO NA9 EEC system.

That is good news! None of the Dealer books we have show it. I have seen it on a 69- 396 alum headed car but not on the 427 holley cars. NHRA will toss you on the slightest infraction so I need to be sure with papers in hand. Thanks for the input Mr 70. Barry

There were three COPO Chevelles and one COPO Camaro sold in our area in '69. None had the heat shield.

Barry: just saw the part about the email! Where did you send it? My computer has been down, and we've been catching the yenko.net emails here, but didn't see anything?

DOH! It just dawned on me, I hollered at you last time via my Hotmail account! I'll run over there and check...
