Ready for Carl to jump in and
tear off for plam16?
Ready for me to get it, yes.
They also had an area in the plant near the end of the line where there were huge rotating drums buried into the floor, and they would pull the cars on there, and they had gauges that set up in front. You could sit in the driver's seat and completely simulate highway use. It would set right there locked into one spot. Them guys would run them cars through the gears. There was a speedometer display, and they'd run it up to sixty and back down to zero. If you got on it the tires squealed
just like they did on the road. If you hit the brakes they squealed like they did on the road. But the only thing that was moving was the back wheels. They did this to every vehicle that come out of plant 8. They would fill them full of antifreeze, put three gallons of gas into 'em, and they went about thirty feet and were started. There were four guys there, and they all had a spot and they would shuttle them and drop it off in the right spot and the guy would get in that car, fire it up. Amazingly, it would start fast.

That wasn’t the first time that the engine had been fired up?
Nope. That engine had been run over in plant 9. It had been run without a carburetor on it. They had a hose with an air-natural gas mixture that clamped down onto the intake, and the engine would
run just as if it had a carburetor. J They could push buttons and rev f these motors up and run 'em at a certain rpm. After they got done they'd pull the hoses off the water connections, disconnect the t plate from the intake and send it t on its way. I had a lot of motors come up into plant 8 on the second floor, on the motor bridge, 1 warm from where they'd been running and did not have a carburetor on them.

Anybody have pictures of the Norwood plant like Steved has of Pontiac? Sam https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

That's funny Sam I was thinking the same thing. Guess we would have seen already if there were.

Re: RAIV and RAV more continuation....
 
I may have found a Norwood pict.
This will have to suffice for now.
I believe it is either Flint,Mi. or Baltimore,Md. plant.
