Re: 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase Teaser.. Vintage Pict
Yes you're right. I could not figure out those ford guys. It would have been a lot easier to just by a Chevy, than to spend all that time and money on trying to get out of the16 second range! Fortunely the warranty took care of me again, must have been another factory flaw. After the 5th time that I had warranty work done in 2 months they started to question me when I came into the service department. I think they were dreading the 5 years, 50,000 miles that still were lying ahead!

Re: 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase Teaser.. Vintage Pict
For those of you who may travel North through South through the Quad cities to Monmouth, and or Laharpe, you've traveled over the patch of 67 he talks about.
A friend of mine was doing kinda the same thing with his 69 Z while under the influence. He mistakenly though he was in a lower gear, and dropped into 2nd from 4th. They saved one head, and the intake. Looked like a grenade went off in the block.

Re: 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase Teaser.. Vintage Pict
It's so nice to have some verification to my stories. Since you are somewhat familar to the location, the vibration story took place in front of the Oaks Restaurant, 2 miles south of the Memri Drive In on route 67. The next story will take place on Knoxville Road east of the Memri 2 miles. I have to include a picture with this story, so Mike or Darren will have to coach me on that one. I'll save that story for next month.

Re: 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase Teaser.. Vintage Pict
That is the worst vibration in the world... it happened to the NOS waterpump on the black 69 RS/Z when we drove the car from the lot after the Camaro Nats last year... I thought it was driveline related... but when you pushed in the clutch and the motor idled it would all but go away...
