Those Sunoco pumps had a lead seal to prevent dialing past 260, but the stations near me cut off the seal- and sold "270" to us. The 270 was selling for 15 cents during a gas war here in 1961- we filled all the 5 gallon cans we could get our hands on! [I needed the 270 for the 13:1 Pontiac in my '60 Falcon]

I can almost smell that gas looking at those old pics. Quite different from that slightly rotten egg smell that the unleaded has.

[QUOTE=misterp266;6282863]Nice setup.

I spent many hours over the years looking at the older but really cool travel trailers. If I were going out west again, I would love to pull an old Airstream
Trailer with a matching GMC Truck with a boosted Pontiac engine installed.
