All American Day 2009

[Nev68]

Went to the All American day this morning.
Very good turn out and if like early Mustangs then you are in luck.

Took some photos.
There seems to be a few cars on the market, quite number of "For Sale" signs out there. (sign of the times?)
Tried to put my 1st Gen Camaro bias aside and take pics of various brands, but I think the best car (IMO) was a very original looking 427 4 speed 69 Camaro

Mopars & AMC ( I know absolutely nothing about any of the cars under the Mopar banner but I liked the Chrysler 300 with the Hemi and twin carbs)

Nice pics Nev, like the silver 69 camaro, good job of doing a COPO clone, like the stance the car has.

[67cammy]

Well done Nev. Really like the black ( dark blue? ) big block 67. Very yummy

Dave,
It was a pretty good show.
The 67 Camaro was very dark green, reminded me of a Commodore colour, I think it was Botanica mica (?) looks black and then if the sun hits it at the right angle you can see the dark green metallic.
It had a very healthy sounding big block.
P!sses me off the mods you can have if you convert to RHD (no offence meant toward you) but that 67 was just about diff centre only, the 9" was shortened to buggery and the rear rubber was about 15" wide and he could have gone a lot wider.
Anyway, finished whinging, it was a really nice car.

I agree that '69 427 Camaro was amazing, was a good show in general. The lack of Mopars was due to their cruise/show taking place next weekend so bugger all were out. Here is a few snaps I took that caught my eye.

Either Monday-itis, or still in BBC learning stage, but what are these two braided lines running off to the LHS of the engine bay from the carb? Seems an unusual place for fuel pump?? And brakes are on the other side, so not vacuum... What me not get? :)

Thats the fuel regulator mounted on the inner guard with the fuel lines going to the carby

OK- Cool. So I'm assuming regulators are an optional bolt-on for hi-po engines, especially those with big carby/fuel requirements like BBCs?

Sorry for the thread-steal, just not seen (or maybe noticed) many of these in engine bays I've looked at... :p

Need a regulator if your using an electric fuel pump. As the name suggests, it regulates the fuel pressure
