An example, my nephew (about 21 at the time) told me a couple years ago he wanted to get an "old" Monte Carlo. I said "Oh, like a '72 or something?" He said "No, '96." :crazy2: Sigh....give me the day of carburetors.What's in a name? Well, for me, when someone says their putting shorties on their car they are talking, and equating performance to, headers. I am talking tubular exhaust manifold. It's like how people say nos. N-O-S is the name of Nitrous Oxide Systems, just the same as Ford. What their talking about is is referred to as nitrous, nitrous oxide, or N2O. Hey dude! What are you going to put on your engine? I'm going to put Edelbrock on it, man!That's what I hear when people say or type nos. Sounds stupid, eh? :hammer:"i'm not an old fart, and dont care too much about the header thing, but the 351m, 400m, 400 and 351c debate always has pissed me off. It was a lot harder to buy parts for my 69 351w mach 1. i hated having to explain that whole M,C,W thing to everyone who sold me parts."I feel your pain.Steve</blockquote>
