Timing a Pontiac 350 engine off #1(exhaust valve!). At 15 years old being offered by Tony Faulk a 62 Catalina 4spd for $1800.00. I had a paper route.Oh it was one of the Knafel 421 SD Tin Indians. Putting a slant pan hydro behind a 389. I didnt know flywheel needed machined. Took out couple tranny pumps before I learned, duh. Being offered a blue 66 Catalina 2 door while hanging out at a local gas station. Went to look at the car,beautiful he wanted $1800.00 again. It was a 4spd, 376 hp! I was in college,poor. Finding a 63 Catalina, swiss cheese car in Pittsburgh about 1980.Newly married. It had a dual quad RAV in it. He had the SD 421 at his shop. It was the Royal car. I put another guy on to it. Changing oil in my SD when new. Enthused. Then after starting it realized I didnt add oil, shut it off quick.fortunately no problems.
