Some of the "youngsters" might have a little trouble with the blower motors.

Re: New engine quiz
 

I got 18 the avanti one got me.

Re: New engine quiz
 

I got all 19 right. I guess I'm screaming headlong through the entry portals of old buzzardhood.

19----comp

Re: New engine quiz
 

19, But I'm probably older than most, including Mark and Terry ! Around here people tell me I'm older than dirt ! Yet I'm above ground ! A Clue, I started racing at Great Lakes Dragaway in 1956 !...............Later, JohnLang (72.8)

"You got 15 right out of 19."

Re: New engine quiz
 

I got the mopars right, but went 0 for olds, etc......a mighty 8 helping to keep the average score down and keep the questions difficulty index hit down......did it at weight, with my mind fully engaged all the way through the end(didn't lift) guessing most of the way......Can't blame stimulants or adult beverage correction factor....

Unfortunately the AMPFS(automatic mental power factoring system) is set up to catch such feable scores and tossed mine out.

Back to the snow and ice.

Re: New engine quiz
 

You got 19 right out of 19.

Way too easy and I am a kid compared to you first 3 guys. ;)

Re: New engine quiz
 

18. Goofed the Avanti one to.

Re: New engine quiz
 

18.....But I might be younger than Mark....but on the other hand most people are..

Re: New engine quiz
 

easy way to tell an olds engine was they are gold in color except for early 60 stuff which was kinda bluish green--buick is red and pontiac is lite blue----studes were almost always kinda gold and amc was a green kinda color

Re: New engine quiz
 

17. I didn't read the full discription on the 348. Just seen the valve cover and punched in 409.... Doh! The older Corvette 327 got me. Sad, but true.

Re: New engine quiz
 

19 Damn I'm getting old !

Re: New engine quiz
 

19. With one eye closed.

Re: New engine quiz
 

I did the same thing on the 348.Shoulda known about the 2X4 setup.Also confused the
second Stude engine with an early Ford Y block.Early stages of dementia.

Re: New engine quiz
 

18 -- and I should know better after reading where everyone else got it wrong - damn avanti got me too -- if we had to be tested and all the engines were black it would be harder .

For a moment it felt like 1970 and I was doing tech at Mountain View Speedway again - thanks Tommy ...................

Re: New engine quiz
 

Jack,believe it or not I would have gotten the same score if the pics were in B/W.Every
engine has it's subtle means of identification.IE:the 348 with trips opposed to the 409 with dual quads.

Re: New engine quiz
 

The Avanti almost got me, too...but if you look closely, somewhere in that engine bay, there's a label with a big 'S'!

19 for me.....and I just turned 39 yesterday. I will admit, though...the 348 was a guess - only because I've never seen a pic of a hi-po 409 with orange valve covers.

Re: New engine quiz
 

Same here. The Pontiac 370(?) almost threw me.

Re: New engine quiz
 

18 outa 19,the carbed studey got me...

Re: New engine quiz
 

100% for Old Man Woodfin

In the "olden days" I worked on some version of all those engines.

Re: New engine quiz
 

19. Didn't know 52 was old, but hey, good company. The 348 almost threw me, but I remembered it from another time, the valve covers made me think but the fenders of the car looked older than what a 409 could have been in, so it was a guess.

Re: New engine quiz
 

Got 18, I mised the one on the 428 Ford. I thought it had the wrong carb, cam , and intake. I thought it was bracket motor.

Re: New engine quiz
 

LOL......Good one !

Re: New engine quiz
 

Larry.....the letter will come in the mail, you actually got all of them correct. It's been superseded!

Re: New engine quiz
 

16 The last few got me and the Stude.......

I'm not that old anyway.....so I had to guess....

Re: New engine quiz
 

another old guy gets 19...

For any of you who missed the Studebaker Avanti, I wasn't sure about it until I noticed the chrome spark plug/plug wires shields. One other car had those - the Corvette.

A fiberglass car doesn't block radio frequency (RF) waves so the wires were enclosed in metal so the radio could be heard without static.

I remember seeing one of these quizzes a while back with a picture of a single 4 barrel W-block. You had to decide whether it was a 348 or 409. As I remember, the oil dipstick is on different sides. That's a tough one.

Re: New engine quiz
 

OUCH!

But true, I got 19

Unk

Re: New engine quiz
 

Not for someone who grew up around 409's. I got 18....Im tired.

Re: New engine quiz
 

42 year-old Mopar head gets 16. The GMs and Studes got me.

Re: New engine quiz
 

Missed 1... the Stude... I must be gettin' old.... :(

Re: New engine quiz
 

On retest this 42 year old improved up to a 16 still having a hard time with some of the blown ones....

Terry: Snow and ice has been our thing here in the NE lately. Got some more last night more on the way for friday....but its a great training and practice for steering into the direction of the spin and short shifting!
