Many Years ago, I had a lot of conversations
with a gentleman named Smokey Yunick at the PRI Shows in Orlando Florida.
For several years I was helping the Butlers, Bob & Frank, BOP, and the gentleman who was casting up
the cast iron exhaust manifolds, (Ram Air Restorations), when they had a booth at the show.
Henry "Smokey Yunick" had his garage in Daytona Beach Florida.
He did some work for Bunkie Knudson (Pontiac Executive) in the early 60s.
Knudson later moved to Ford.
So I ran across some old pictures of Smokey's Flow Bench which he put together years before Chevrolet had one.
I believe Pontiac and Oldsmobile had flow benches though.
Here are the Pictures of his flow bench. Enjoy
ps Smokey died of cancer in 2001. As a final tribute, his wife, Margie, had his ashes scattered in every winner’s circle where his cars won.
