What about John Schloe? '69 Bird... He not racing this year? Was thinkin that he was running "C"/automatic

I see the E/SA index is still 11.70 ...for now...hehe... Hopefully it stays there for awhile longer...

Brett,has any one mentioned the three "C"`s to ya?

Carb,cam and converter/clutch .

Have a good foundation with the short block and focus on those three things and you`ll do fine.

Shloe`s car has been a D-port motor for a while now I believe.

Was it common for Pontiac to use three speeds in their manual transmissions? My buddies '71 GTO also had a three speed stick.

Not to jump in here...I've seen a Pontiac 3-spd stick muscle car before...(back in the day), and I saw a '66 or '67 SS-396 Chevelle with same once...couldn't believe the shift-patten emblem on console...car was NEW or a year old?

A lot of muscle cars came standard with a 3-speed stick and auto trans or 4-speed was an option. Same with posi rears; typically it was an option. We look back on the prices of these options today and think "why would somebody pass on that cheap option?" but in the day, as it should be today, every penny counted.

Call Darren @ Patterson Racing (316) 775-7771. Their knowledge of the latest and greatest on piston and ring combos is second to none and their pricing is competitive.

Brent is a future STOCK racer on a budget, not a comp or SS racer.
