Re: More amazing attic finds from the old speed shop!
Here's a nice find: a pair of 15x7 GM bolt pattern American Racing 200S "Daisy" wheels, still in the box, dated 1973. There were only 2 of them, otherwise i would have really jumped for joy (and hit my head on the rafters...again) These are the same exact wheels I have on my Charger. I had no idea they were supposed to be this shiny! They still had the warranty cards in the boxes.

Re: More amazing attic finds from the old speed shop!
Ok this time I'll ask up front. Can I have dibs on those wheels?
 My NOS 14/7s riding up front need company...

Steve,
Hard to tell from the angle, but I believe the first piston image is an L/78 or L/72 piston. OD will tell you for sure. Steve

Re: More amazing attic finds from the old speed shop!
I seem to be getting inundated with questions about the tach sender unit. I assume this may have been something Yenko used at the dealership? it's rather hard to read but the part number on the box looks like D990-A. Well, here are some more photos for the inquiring minds:

Re: More amazing attic finds from the old speed shop!
Here is the ramainder of the random stuff:
Remember these: Cal Custom oil filler neck and cap for a early to mid 60's small block?  Some Stewart Warner guage items: an electric oil pressure gauge and mounting kit and a tach sending unit (the box indicated it was for 900 series tachometers)  Some Hawk brand tunig tools: fual/exhaust analyzer and tach dwell meter:  A whole bunch of assorted KD tools, AGC fuses, 1157 clear and amber glass bulbs...  And this was a fun one: Remember back in the 70's when every fiberglass manufacturer made these "mudflap" flairs for the Trans Ams. There were a mirror image of the flairs that came factory installed in front of the front and rear wheelwells, only they installed behind the wheel wells as mudflaps. This was a rear set. No way in hell I'm installing them on my car but they caught my eye because they were wrapped in a December 26, 1971 Michigan newspaper.
