Does this add HP to my SS?
My co-worker drove his 1972 Chevelle SS to work today and parked next to me.

He complains that it doesn't get driven enough and being the nice guy that I am, I keep offering to lend my services. No luck yet but one day..... :steering: |
As much as I love old muscle cars and own one. You may have added HP to him :)

I am somewhat young and naive mind you, but I heard/read somewhere that, due to gas crisis and what not, the power numbers were often "skewed" to meet federal regulation, and actual power numbers were much higher. Any ideas/input?

I had 2 70 SS 396 Chevelles, and a 69 SS 396 El Camino at one time.
Now I have this one; https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...pare_of_ss.jpg They all require work and watching where you park and leave them. |
