    A few hundred cheaper? No way. Cheaper maybe, but not by that much. If you see a price discrepancy like that, the cheaper system is not as complete.

    What you're missing is that pedal ratio and bore diameter have similar effects. Pressure and volume are both affected. A stop only affects total volume.

    The factory used a rubber strip like that but it was a bit thinner. If what you have appears to be the thickness required (thick enough to assure no movement, thin enough that it will go together),...

    Look into the newer TKX transmission. Has more friendly shifter location options, plus it fixes some of the shifting problems that the 500 and 600 transmissions have.

    So we need a test pilot.

    FWIW pot metal doesn't rust. I guess the Chinaman that wrote that doesn't realize that.

    Looks like the antenna hole is slightly outboard and not centered on the crown of the fender.

    Could have been fixed with a mockup before paint. Easy for me to say, LOL.

    Chevy only put 56 engines in 56 cars. A previous owner could have put a 57 engine in your 56.

    55-57 cars did not have build sheets.

    Legality aside, the logistics on using av gas or race gas are also way beyond any sort of practicality. Other solutions have to be better.
