----My 70 LT1 that I bought new ran 12.90's shortly after I bought it with headers, and borrowed to tall slicks, with a 3.70 gear. Literally no tuning what so ever. The slicks were so tall I ran thru the traps in third! That's fact and at the time surprised the hell out of me. Still does!.....Bill S

I had a buddy in Indiana with a 70 LT1 radio delete car with headers and 4.11's ran low 12's. He ran it at a small strip north of Kokomo... His son has the car now. I set the solid lifters one night in the hotel parking lot at the NCCC convention. The class record for solid lifter small blocks at that time was in the high 11's!!!!

Question for the experts, as I’m wanting to learn the procedure on these LT1 hood stripes.

Did the hood stripes stop and then start again at both lower turns as shown in these photos?

Plus, how were they applied?
By hand, or by tool?

Thanks, Chris

Chris,

Those are correct. As I understood it, those were applied by hand

No, they were sprayed over a 2 piece pattern cut out. One for the side stripe and then another pattern was laid for the piece across the front. That's why there is a mismatch mark at the corners for original stripes...
