1955, 265 cid.

 


And for the record, this is not the correct answer. I have won more bets with this question than any other!

No correct answer yet that I know of. The answer is a what vehicle, and where/when.

What 67 Pontiac 400 HO engine component(s) were shared with a 455SD Firebird?

There is a specific one I am looking for and would like to have an accurate description of the similarity.


Tough one. Correct answer is camshaft. The one difference being the phyiscal size of the distributor gear on each one, but the specs are the same.

Tech question

What is the likely cause of a GM tilt column that has a freewheeling ignition lock (turns easily) but won't engage the electrical part of the ignition switch?


Any older GM techs out there? You must have experienced this one. We used to do many of them in the 80's and 90's.

What tail lights were used on the 65 Camaro experimental car?


 Someone must have a book with a picture of this car. You'll guess the tail light in an instant if you have the pic.
