Blk/Gold car
First question..... The intakes pictured are '859s. One has the 5" top AFB's, no longer remember their ##s. Guy I got that from had one of the aluminum front end Tempests & told the story that the bigger carbs were added later. Have 2 of the '128s, one factory,........other is a Randy Williams "improved" version.......seems a much better design & is currently on the engine in the blue '62 sedan pictured. Picture of Williams improved version enclosed here.......
Second comment.....best I recall, Davisson was not far from Akron. I once called Arlen Vanke & asked if he had any idea where any of the Pontiac stuff he had might be & he said something to the effect of "......why would you want to fool with that junk???????....."
You are correct in regard to the time frames, Davisson didnt get the blk/gold car until about 1970-3....??? I have no idea whether Vanke was involved at that time.
Found the picture of the 1966 Springnationals I ran the blk/gold car in, this was a first round win for me. The fast car was Wally Booth in a '66 Chevelle, he went 12.30 or something close to that, fastest I got was 12.41. He lost a transmission during class & was out......... 'Kicks' blue/white '66 Chevy won all the marbles in B/S.
