Contents: Tech – Manifold Learning (We grabbed 15 of the more popular single- and dual-plane intake manifolds – plus a vintage Chevy piece – and dyno-tested each one on our 383 small-block made at Westech Performance); Performer! (It’s finally here. We purchased a complete ’73 Camaro and we’re showcasing the direction we’re looking to go with it. In the meantime, we tossed the old rollers in exchange for 15-inch Rallys with all-new rubber and enhanced the ergonomics with new seats and a fresh-looking steering wheel); Spark It Up (We’ll show you how to upgrade your HEI Ignition with an MSD unit); All Racked Up (Our project ’66 El Camino was in dire need of modern upgrades. We spent the day at our tech center and swapped out the old manual steering box, shaft, and the rods in favor of a complete Unisteer power rack-and-pinion kit); Fire Starter! (We put together six of the most common ignition boxes out there for under $250 and listed prices, features, and even required volts for each one) Features – Stuka In A Camaro Suit (It’s a runner and a little rain didn’t slow down this killer ’68 Camaro. More importantly, we got the juicy scoop and you’ll read about the Velocity Camaro here first) Departments – Shop Talk (Editor H gives his perspective as a passenger); Performance Q & A (Our resident tech guru, Big Mac, tells all); Step By Step (Our ’72 Nova is under the knife again for suspension upgrades for its new 350 small-block swap.
