I missed the basement while I was there. I did see the "cotton candy" one though. A few y-blocks there, so it was a good show. Met Gene Winfield while I was there by his gold (32 I think) pick-up. Nice guy.

There was a 32 with a Y block that had a blower that was electric and powered by a starter motor and I got pics,the basement had the not so shiney cars and the tuners.

Fifth row down on the extreme right. That Flat roof, primered T sedan Is owned by a nice young fellow I met in Dearborn last year. It's a 368 Lincoln with "the right stuff". Engine assistance was provided by Royce! He hopes to get to Columbus this year. The car is a real original hot rod owned by his father ar one time. Great car with a great history and Y powered. Wow! Chuck in NH  He is also the owner of the Larsen roadster. A classic piece of 50's - 60's hot rod! A really great survivor!

The black A fenderless p/u 7 down all the way on the left side is the one with the mysterious mechanical fuel injection.

Hard to tell in the picture but it looks like a boat intake with 2 carbs. It's such a weird looking combination that anyone that hasn't seen one would be taken aback! Picture below is only running one carb. Chuck in NH

I thought it was a boat carb but it had no carbs and the injection system tucks down low close to the valley pan,I got a close up picture but I cant get it to load.

Try opening the picture in the program you use to edit. Right click, copy and then paste it into the message body. Should work. Or EMAIL me the picture at chuck3eagles@comcast.net and I'll put it up for you. Chuck in NH

That is a boat intake. Looks like the regular carbs on it. Same side drafts as the Blue Flame Corvette 6cyl. I can't make out much detail on the carbs though. Chuck in NH
