Some overseas military order docs and Nickey info

[fbirdguy]

I was going through some of my literature today and found this stuff. It may be common stuff but I thought it was pretty cool. It came in a box of military stuff I got from a guy about 10 years ago when I had my automotive gift shop. This is the first time I went through it. It appears he went to the US Navy purchasing dept. in late 1967 or early 1968 and was looking to order either a Camaro or Firebird. He must have either ordered the Nickey info or they had it onsight. I sure wish I had a time machine.

Queens pier in Hong Kong, recall it well, got both my tattos from an "off limits" parlor about 6 blocks up from there in the Spring of 72. $4.00 each and all the suds you can drink while getting them done. --LOL -- Hey Stefano, it's time for an anniversary sale to match the prices in the Nickey flyer !! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

Give us an inflation adjustment and I think we might be able to work with those prices.

The packets of info/performance catalogs were mail out to prospective customers by both Nickey Chevrolet and Bill Thomas Racing.

Anyone know what the Fuel Pump Rod Kit consisted of?

[Stefano]

This fuel pump rod was made of lighter aluminum as opposed to steel so that it would not be as likely to float the fuel pump spring and thus help keep the fuel pressure up and consistent at high rpms.
