Default Re: What everr happened to the good ol' days

Ed,

I was into (Olds-powered) Gassers at that time, but he was MY hero (Bob Creitz) because, like Porter/Reis and Ratican/Safford/Gaide, he continued to use Oldsmobile engines in T/F when everyone else in the world had caved in and switched to Chrysler (and De Soto) Hemis.


I was in his shop one day in about 1963, and saw a '60 Olds (394) head that he'd sawed the exhaust port off as far back as he could and had taken that last 90-degree (down) turn out of it, and inserted a tube so that the exhaust exited the head straight out (horizontally) like a small block Chevy!

I thought, "Why didn't ~I~ think of that???"

I decided that it's because guys like Bob Creitz always get ahead by thinking outside the box, while people like me just watch in amazement... usually, from behind.

Too bad he never had an A/GS car... It woulda been BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!

Maybe he helped Ray Lollar with his???
