We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.
Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.
First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari
since no one is answering this I will throw this out,, The J56 brake was a racing brake option for the Corvette it Required power brake option j50 also ,it consisted of modified calipers with 4 pins instead of 2 also a brace that standard brakes did not have and the pads had to have Heat to work no good for a street driven car ,and the 4 piston calipers ALWAYS leaked ,I replaced mine with a set from Stainless Brake co ,because I drove it very little and the factory would stick and Leak ,this is how the factory set up looked
The blue was in race trim ,Red is after I changed back to stock ..Same Car 1965
and no I didn't have to look it up
I will pot a picture after some one gets it ,, It is sitting in front of my trailor ,Mobile home 1969 I had just bought it New when I got married The Trailor cost 3200 Brand new ,I paid 3500 for the car Used
close to the same car ,,This version was Not meant for the track,,it was built for one purpose to rule the streets in 1967 and it did it Very well,,
Dodge had a version it was Unofficialy called Super Stock ,they were offered with 440 or Hemi ,,Mine was a 440 It had 3xtwo barrel holleys fenderwell headers different can and added spring on the right side Only it did not say silver bullet on the car ,or at least mine didn't ,Just a sticker on drivers vent window

1) The condesor in a point type ignition distributor and 2) IIRC, a capacitor that they put on the outside of the distributor next to the coil for noise suppression for the radio.
Hmmmmmm. Do you think you could section a 57 caddy bumper to give her just a little more out front?
