Brad, I won't know about the carb VS. injection for two weeks. I have seen the truck from a short distance, but never thought the doctor would offer it. I have a meeting in Memphis all next week, so it will be the following week before I can check it out. I have a mechanic friend that's working on my 72 Chevelle, and I plan on taking him with me to check it out. The price is good. It has huge rear wheels. The LT1, I was told, had a reverse flow water pump to cool the heads first, allowing higher compression rates, keeping them from having pre-detonation problems. The water pump runs off of a linkage to the cam. Different for me!
I had a call from Edinburg and was told they have a 66 or 67 Chevelle SS for sale, and I'm waiting for a price and the specs. Seems deals are coming out of the wall! Thanks!

Does it have a carburetor or Fuel Injection? Both are great, but the modern ones will need a computer and the old ones need good gas!
