I seem to remember several differences, from NHRA rules.

I have some pics of the 1970 Knafel GTO, nat record holder. It appears to be running in the 2-FA or FA-2 class. So, exactly what is that ? Is it a Stock class ? SS ? :confused:

We attended the World Nats race in Amarillo, in '76, IIRC. We saw a car there named "Packin Poncho". It was a '69 GTO, with a hood scoop. Looks like it ran in the SS3 class. Can someone here clarify the AHRA/IHRA rules, for Stock/SS ?

Here's a 2nd gen Bird that ran SS/AM. John Clegg drove it. It has "PONTIAC" on the scoop.

This model car was not available with a Chevy V8 engine. I'm not familiar with the SS/AM rules. So, is it required that the car run a Pontiac engine, with either Pontiac factory iron heads or alum heads that are NHRA approved for a Pontiac engine ?

It shows up on DRC from 1998 thru 2006. Ran mid 8's.

So, anybody here familiar with this particular car, that could give me engine details ?

Thanks !
