I have had people say I had one just like that, 67 Firebird.....Um that's a 68, "oh yeah, same thing"

What year is that? 1968. "Yep I had one just like that, but it had the triple carbs" I think to myself "sure buddy".

A good friend and I were at a car show in Colorado Springs, He's into 69 Camaro's. Another guy was telling us how he took out a 327 from his Camaro and put in a 350, and it barely fit and all the modifications he had to do. Then went on about how much more horsepower it had when he installed the 3/4 cam and the new "Edelbrock Racing Only Carb" with a special K&N filter that he had custom made. Thats when we turned and walked away.
