RAIV and RAV more continuation....

[J GLASGO]

Tom,i had the complete harness with everything including nos coil,and rebuilt amp,it worked great.The price of the parts was quite surprising,but the exhaust manifolds dont pop up for sale very often.I actually crated the motor and trucked it.The exhaust manifolds were picked up by hand in a new suitcase,and were driven 2500 miles across the country!I wish i would have done a couple of things different when i did that motor,i think it would have ran considerably better,although it was still a handfull on the street.Steve ,i think the manifolds on the hot rod cover,may be the same as the ones Bob Mullikan has on his Judge,he and i actually raced each other a couple of times at the gto nats in 91? Pretty rare to see 2 Ram Air 5 GTO,s with factory exhaust manifolds drag racing!!

Bill Schultz's '69 Royal GTO that was at SCR7...it was a magazine test car back in the day...was it a RAV?

John,any idea where I can find the inbetween harness,I have everything else,NOS coil,dist and the box.Dave Fiedler made sure everything worked but did not have the connecting harness.I want to put it in my 69 T/A but dont want a trashed up looking harness.Tom

If John's files are too big, I have unlimited email size at [email protected] and I can resize and post on my server if needed. I would really like to see them.

That other GTO is probably the one Gene Ingle first raced from our dealership. I have pics of it launching at 91 Nats but not you? Would love to see your ride on the track if you have one of those? For the life of me I can't see how that left side manifold in that Hot Rod would fit between the frame rails of an A body, but you never know. I also wonder if they are aluminum.

Then why some one doesn't take a set of the A body manifolds to one of the two places repo'ing them, I'm not real sure. With so much money involved in the rare originals, a couple of copies you think my sell for several thousand in them self.

Steve,would cost a ton to make molds,which would you make GTO,Bird?Then how many insane people like myself are out there?Not enough im sure.AND who would give theirs up to make the molds?NOT me.Tom

Insane

Actually Gary has kidded around about it, I might just get a hold of one of the companies tomorrow and find out what the scoop would be. I've also wondered how long before some one is making the heads in aluminum RAV style.

Wish I could help you on the harness, but I'm sure you know the few RAV guys I know plus about 20. I doubt a part number would do any good, but if you have it... send it over and I'll check it out from the GM angle.

Tom although I don't know what the conectors look like...couldn't one of the aftermarket harness companies make one up for you...if you knew wire lengths,colors and connectors it should be do able...
