Thank you all for your replies,



Rather than clutter the NG with different questions from the same guy I

thought I would ask on this same thread as I got a lot of questions on parts

availability....

I got an invite to a "show and shine" in Melita Manitoba Canada on

August long weekend.

I would really like to finish the wheel centers with a fake `knock

off` style wheel centers. I did a search and can`t find the three blade

`knock off" style that I am looking for. I hope I am not asking any lame

questions. Thanks for any answers

Congrats, Jim.

I`m a bit surprised to hear how impressive the performance is. If I

recall correctly, you got a `77, and the Vettes in that era are not

known for their performance characteristics. The gas "crisis" and

emissions controls in the mid-to-late 70`s had pretty much castrated

them at that point.

Do you know if/what mods have been made to give it more balls? For about

a year now I`ve been trying to assess what non-intrusive mods are likely

to give my `74 a little extra punch.



Eric
