As a matter of fact, I believe I still have one of the original print American Spirit books from AMC including the patch.

In the early days, the OEM issued TSB's and service letters for replacement parts when the original parts did not perform as intended. This applied to all makes and models of cars. Therefore, not surprised because it has been common practice even today.

These bulletins were also included in sections of the old Motors and Chilton repair manuals that garages and service shops used in the early days. These were not the ones the public will buy at the local book store, these were the big hard cover, bible size manuals.

I applaud that you and Billy enjoy running in the lower classes with minimum investment, nevertheless, there are a lot of us that enjoy the faster classes.

As regards to racing, yes, I have owned several cars, raced in the old Modified Production class, also Super Stock and Stock. Currently do not race, but help an assist several friends until the new Comp Eliminator bullet is finished.

Thanks for the civil reply.What I question is the fact that I believe these replacement parts were used not in drag racing applications but were meant for use in the road race,trans am applications.
Oh Jeez don't tell me you don't race, I keep being told to shut up because I don't race anymore. Maybe we should both check in to the nearest assisted living facility.
