Description
I posted a 65 Chevrolet recently that was set up for drag racing. this is the power plant
the 65 Chevy Impala(350 cui) that I had was not running at it's full potential and I had done a tuneup. I decided to change the points. Chevrolets had a square peg and a round peg to locate the distributor cover. well, I noticed someone had managed to install the round peg on the square peg side.
I changed it back and set my timing.
the manufacturer had done the pegs that way so people would know which way to put the cover. some dummy managed to screw up anyway.
well, it was not me!!!

STRONG....My favorite motor of all time V8 :) got car accident 1981 with my FORD COUGAR at fast speed 128 mph No belt pass trough the windshield hit the hood ...woke up at the hospital 6 hours after (coma) skull fracture :)
Beautiful! I love it when an engine can be kept this way.
Looks like it has plenty of muscle! Cool shot, Richard! That must have been the guy that hammered the round peg in the square hole on that toy when he was a kid. didn't learn, apparently....
So we get to see the famous round peg in the square hole - a nice photo too!
Awesome capture!
