I purchased a '68 W-30 about 20 years ago. I did a little body work, got it painted, had a small altercation ( bent the front bumper ). About the same time, my son was in bad accident ( is now a quadraplegic ). He was not driving. Rog II is now going to college ( Information tech & programing ). I parked the car. About a year ago I started to work on it again .
The car was primarily used for drag racing, consequently some things under the hood were changed.
Does anyone know where I could find some pictures , looking down on the engine, routing of wires & hoses , etc.
Also is there anyplace that makes the fabric hose for the air ducts.
Thanks for the help and this is a great web site.
Roger

Hi Roger. I hope you found what you were looking for. Kurt has good info above about Wildaboutcars.com. When you get a chance, post some pics of your 68. I have a 68 Convertible, and just got it out for the first time this year (yesterday evening). I couldn't believe it started right up for me after sitting all winter!

 

I'm still struggling with the poll at the top of this thread...

 

I agree Joe. I was scratching my head when I saw it and also saw that there were some votes cast (not many, thank goodness).

 

I will reword this.
What year W-30 is the quickest

 

I thought it was pretty obvious...its gots to be the diff. ratio

 

I dunno, the question kinda reminds me of "Did you walk to school or bring your lunch?"

 

Who's on first, whats on second. Yea I think it would be 66 or 70.

 

In minnesnowda the question was "Did you ride the bus or carry your lunch?? Eh"

 

In New England it was "did you walk to work or carry your lunch?"

In any case, for QUICKEST W-30 I'll vote 1966. I suspect Joe D will say the same.

 

My mom use to say that back where I was raised in Wisconsin LOL havnt heard that in years.

 

I ate my lunch while walking to school up hill.... both ways!

 

Prolly the one that crosses the finish line first is the fastest. Sometimes it's not what the car's capable of; it's who's driving it. Hopefully not the bus driver ....

 

ok. I will leave u follows alone. I was warned that most of you have too much time on your hands. Best of luck to all of you.

 

 

Ah, come on friend, It's just a little CO humor. No one ment to offend anyone.

BTW, I've never heard any of those expressions.

 

In the snow, of course...
