Another very common one. It can't be a 69 Z28 because it has power steering.

It can't be a real 409 car because it doesn't have 6" wheels or a boxed frame.....

Geeeesh!

Even the old world experts used to tell me the Olds 400's in my '69 and '70 442's couldn't be original engines...&quot;so you own one but don't even know they came with them special 442 CID motors?&quot;
Never any sense explaining the 442 meanings through the years to these fellas either or getting into the Chevy/B-O-P engines and 454/455 thing...or Canadian Pontiacs etc, etc...

Several years back I had my Black 69 Camaro SS L78 4 speed car at a local Sunday afternoon gathering. As I opened the hood up the pillsbury doughboy with his greasy blond hair pulled back in a pony tail, asks me who put &quot;that thar&quot; smog pump on this car ? Only CA cars got a smog pump [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I told him I bought the car that way so he would leave me alone.

As long as we are talking about the low information crowd, This actually happened: A 'B' body mopar had an early (392) Hemi shoehorned in it's engine bay at a local show. Looked pretty good. The car had a BDS scoop for an air cleaner, similar to the one pictured. I overheard a fella telling his friend, while pointing at the scoop, &quot;See, that is the engine size, 805.&quot; 8=B,0=D,5=S, No kidding! I started following this guy to see what other 'pearls of wisdom' he had, and he had plenty! That one is the only one I can remember though.

Yep. I tend to park and walk away from my car. The few informed people are a pleasure but the &quot;experts&quot; take all the fun out of it.
