'62 question
Belairless, (sorry, couldn't resist)
I noticed you put the long exhaust manifolds on that car. Did you also equip it with the other service package items, such as the '63 cam and 006 distributor? Verne

Re: Goodguys Iowa Heartland Nationals
Joe.........I met you on I-80 Thursday just east of Davenport, Iowa. You were stopped at a rest stop on the Illinois side. And then I met you and Steve's rig again Monday afternoon just west of Davenport again on I-80.
 We went to Camaro SuperFest in Ann Arbor, Michigan this past weekend. We left 7:00 a.m. Thursday morning (7/1) and returned Monday (7/5). You might have seen our caravan. Two pickups pulling enclosed trailers and two pickups pulling open trailers with Camaros on them. Wish I would have been here in Des Moines to attend Good Guys and meet you. I have seen the Inciner8tor at Imagine Motorsports on Hot Rod Power Tour. I think the pickup was also there was it not? I don't remember seeing the '62 Chevy though. They are all sweet looking rides though ! ! !

Re: Goodguys Iowa Heartland Nationals
Belair,
You couldn't run the Z-11 cam anyway, unless you used the 583 heads (deeper valve spring pockets to prevent coil bind). I was just curious since the manifolds would indicate "service package" in '62. There was only one dual point offered - the 919. I'll email you with some details about component combinations and when they were offered. Too bad I won't see you at York tomorrow. Verne.

Re: Goodguys Iowa Heartland Nationals

Re: Goodguys Iowa Heartland Nationals
Belair,
With today's technology, I'm sure you can get valve springs that meet the Z-11 cam spec, but with smaller diameter wire, so if it's set up right you can have the valve lift with 690s without coil bind. Just can't do it with stock springs. Some people have tried to machine down the spring seats on 690s and hit water. And in the worst case, the seat didn't break through until after after the engine was running......nasty result. Verne.
