Last Night's Meeting.....

[s2ms]

...was (mostly) cylinder head night. Thanks to everyone who brought out some really cool, rare, and.....heavy parts!

Awesome!  Wow, WASAAC meetings are much more interesting than SAACNW Meetings!     WASAAC +1 - - SAACNW +0

Forgot....this very rare 1968 289 HiPo fuel pump also made an appearance...

Here is a side-by-side comparison between a stock HiPo 289 head and a Valley Head Service HiPo head.

Enjoy

I wonder if the 68 hipo fuel pump was used on the 68 tunnel port engine?

Were the aux pushrod guides used in addition to the factory narrowed apertures on the Valley hipo heads?

[Wedgeman]

Great Display....

I've heard/read some speculation on that but never seen any documentation, plus the few period  tunnel port 302 photos I've seen show a different pump, more similar to a Boss 302?

I stand corrected. Found this photo from a Hot Rod article on the Tunnel Port 302 showing a prototype street engine with a button top pump. So, yeah, maybe.

[Bob Gaines]

Of course the tunnelport heads did not have the thermactor ports for the tubes but a 302 hipo prototype engine might.

Dave,
   Cool concept for a monthly meeting. Only problem I'd have is I'd be trying to buy everything.....haha. Thanks for sharing this.
