Re: Time capsule 410 miles..wow
Now it makes sense why the tire pressure sticker is shown loose.
I also noticed upon closer inspection of the pics that the partial build sheet shows GS1 2.73 gears. Were 2.73s available on a legit Z15 optioned SS car in '72? Pretty long legs for anything trying to be a legitimate performace car.

Re: Time capsule 410 miles..wow
Yes...My 72 Chevelle SS L-48 came stock with an open 2:73 KD rearend.
As I stated earlier,He picked the right Chevelle to build the Super Sport foundation on. By 1972,Chevrolet accommadated ANY Low horse,Hi-Po profile motif.

Not that the LS-6 is bad mind you  but just a little lap time behind the wheel of a true DZ motor will convince anybody of what's real Chevrolet High Performance.Long live the 302 & LT-1 and every other GREAT Chevy small-block ever made!

Re: Time capsule 410 miles..wow
The only difference is you are actually getting somewhere in the LS 6
