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

Hello Keith
Another example of this is Mallory vs. Accel. Mallory was the key player in the '50's and '60's. These were the pieces to run. Along came Echlin's line of Accel components in late '69 and cleaned Mallory's clock in the '70's because of their adverstising budget. Accel had full page color ads in what seemed like every mag, every month starting in '70. Accel's 3000 series distributor was a very high quality, competition distributor though and Accel Super Coil really got them started.
It's also should be noted that MSD started to clean Accel's clock in the mid '80's and still does so today. What goes around comes around.

You mean to say some of the old stuff I have at my dads place (couple Accel dual point/ansen sprints and old Lakewood bars) that I used to run in the 69-72 time frame are worth something again. I need to get back home and sort through what I have stored at his place.

The August '69 Hot Rod Magazine has a full page add for Kelsey-Hayes mag wheels featuring their 20 spoke cast wheel. I saw a set of these same wheels on a car at the local cruise night last night. Better dig the old stuff out. Recycle time.
