Bill. I live near Peoria. Your 55 gasser really does interest me. My first car was 55 Pontiac. I put a 370 in it, back in high school. Ran a Crane Cam and 57 tripower. I ran it in Peoria, back in mid-60s...1/8th mile.
Can you tell me more about your 55? Do you have pictures?
I have a business restoring Pontiac tripowers and selling tripower parts.
