"The standard pump produced 6 psi pressure and the special race pump 
produced 8 psi. 7 psi is usually maximum for carbs without using a 
regulator, so be careful that you have the 6 psi pump, unless you use a 
fuel regulator anyway."

According to the Summit site, the M6108 and M6109 pumps are both rated 
at 5.5-6.5 psi and 120 gph.

Both should be acceptable for carburetor usage without a regulator, and 
both are under $25.00.

Michael, i must have those side mounts, the car had a 260 in. I will check
on monday. The mechanics swears that he has chosen the lowest combination of
disponible mounts, but an error can always happen

Has anyone ever dealt with NOS Reproductions in Ontario?
http://www.nosreproductions.com/
If so, what was your opinion on product quality, service , etc?

I got some seat covers from them with the 69 Cutlass I bought  about 5 years
ago. The covers came with the car so I didn't have any dealings with them.
The quality of the seat covers seems OK.

Hello
How hot was it yesterday...
It was so hot,,when i got in my van for a coffee at lunch my frt drivers tire went BOOM! out the sidewall at rim just from my skinny arse sittin in it.
Who said tire covers were only for the strip?
I dont trust tire comps. no mo,cheap junk..i seen too much recently even at the strip with racers tires and on street.
Buy only good tires new period.
How would you like a frt drivers tire to blow on a hot summers mountain drive?
Its the first thing on the grd on yer car...make sure its safe.

To Save gas drive like a 18 wheeler...you can see far ahead(red light)why are ya still on the gas,, coast along...saves brakes too :) and keeps air movin threw rad..oil movin(low gear),,cooler temps(hp) ,,,instead of sitting at a light behind a car after wearing out yer brakes to a stop.
My slant6 dogge van is awesome commuter.

Don't be disappointed if your claims are met with scepticism and disbelief. Let them keep burning up their cash
unnecessarily while you enjoy the extra cash in your wallet.

When i aquired my duals cross member fer the late 76 car i once had,,,,, the owners 442 i removed it from had a oil leak so bad the under side was coated.

Accel had a magnetic trigger distributor for an Olds long before MSD made
one. My '65 F-85 330 has had an Accel distributor with a MSD 6A box #6200
and MSD red Blaster coil since about 1994. The system has worked perfectly.

And I'll confirm.....It's one skinny arse. LOL

Seriously though, I've never heard of that happening. Was the tire in good condition? Tire pressure too high?

Also bought seat covers for my 69 conv. 3 years ago. Same manufacturer that
Year One uses. Quality was fine. Parts were shipped promptly. No complaints.
