<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bigsixman</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Gary, what length cables do you use for the chute and battery shut off? I checked with Lokar and they show a 8' cable for the shut off. The 8' seems like it may be a little short. The chute cable would need to be longer.

I am doing essentially the same thing with my 67 Camaro and it will may save me some headaches if you know the lengths. I just ordered my PPP shifter today and I am at that point with my build.

Thank you. </div></div>

Big Six Man,

I just measured the cable in the 1970 Camaro and it is the 8 foot cable and it works fine at that length. Obviously, depending on where you put the shifter, the ON-OFF switch in the trunk will dictate how the cable works. When we built this car, we had all of these parts, so the battery and shifter were located based on those locations. I really don't remember how long a cable I used on the 69 for the parachute, but all those mountings will have to be determined before ordering the cable length.

Good Luck with your 67.

Pictures attached are trunk area where bracketry attaches to battery hold down area, Lokar lever on shifter, &amp; where cable goes through back seat area to trunk. Hope this helps.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ds1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I grew up watching Wes run the Chevy II. I had 2 66 back half cars because of Wes. One a 505 bbc, and one a 355 sbc. I knew that car was for sale. Sweitzer's Firebird is for sale also. We used to run an IHRA pro am race. Wes set a national record, I think 10.72. That would have been 2003 or 2004. I worked at Beaver Springs fir 16 years. Last year I bought Joe Scott's first Super Stocker. Going to restore it close to how he had it. I made several trips to see him and get the title. Also know Billy Nees. He and I can talk Camaros all day. </div></div>

Wes had a ton of success with this car and it definitely knows how to find its way to the Winner's Circle (not for me yet, but it is coming soon I hope LOL). Joe Scott is definitely a legend in NHRA Super Stock racing, no doubt about it and Billy Nees has the reputation for building winning cars in Stock also, so you are definitely around the right people. Good Luck with the 1967, I'm sure it will be a nice piece when completed.

Thanks Gary for your help. Your 69 and 70 Camaros are two well done and planned out cars. I am extremely impressed with your 69 car in particular as everything is right on the money, stance, color, Yenko scheme, interior and under hood are well done.

Big Six Man,

Thanks for the compliments, the 69 was a fun car to build, because the vision became a reality. Kind of Sucked to sell it, but family does come first. I really enjoy the 70, it is not the &quot;SHOW&quot; car that the 69 is, as the burgandy paint is very old and has some problems, but that is a good thing, cause if it gets a nick or a scratch it will not bother me like the first scratch in the 69. I will post some more pictures of the 70 underhood and interior, since I think it turned out almost as good as the 69.

Thanks again,
GM

Your 70 Camaro is very nice and well detailed car. Is that a Borgeson steering box? Who sells the lower LH alternator mount. There is a lot of nice detail in your engine compartment.

Big Six Man,

Thanks, a lot of work, but I am very happy with the results. Flaming River sells the steering box, it is a kit, with a different arm and a sliding shaft with U-joints for alignment to the column. The alternator deal is from East Coast Auto Electric, they have kits for all kinds of applications.

Good Luck,
GM

Is it possible you could post up the incrementals on that 1.28 60 foot pass, we run a similiar car, I'd really like to see them, thanks.

I sent you a PM, don't want to bore the guys on this sight with numbers.

Thanks,

Thanks! Nice use of power. How did you get that intake under the hood? We run a 1970, here a video, ck out the rear suspension, we had a horrible time getting the car to hook before this suspension was fabbed.

Nice videos, I enjoyed watching them both. I see that you have a Ken Keir single wheelie bar too, it is definitely a slick piece.

The intake is a stock Chevy piece, it is an NHRA approved replacement casting number 19131359, so dimensionally, it is pretty close to the original.
