Same thing here:

1976 Camaro
1969 BB Chevy 396 .060" Over (480+HP...TQ was not even an issue)
Muncie M22 (RockCrusher) 4spd
Moroso Brute-Strength 3.23:1 Diff
Strange Axles
427 Oval Port Heads
Holley ProJection-II (900CFM TB)
CompCam Magnum-280 and CompCams Roller Valvetrain....the list goes on and
on...

$7500 in the motor, $2500 in the suspension ('Vette Products Mono-Leaf -
Front & Rear), $500 on the paint (Maaco) and a lot of seriously pissed off
$60,000 "Muscle Cars". (And I purchased the car from a little old lady with
a 350/Auto for $900...the conversion was a B--ch!)

As for the cap & rotor...I'll email ya the part numbers later on
tonight...Check the website though...I think they're on there.

Bernd, I know that it takes some serious $$ to go real fast. (c'mon,
we're street racers!!!) Take my '66 Toro, over $3,000 went into that
engine, even though I did all the work except for the machine work, it
was very rewarding to see it on the dyno, FRONT wheels a spinnin', and
seeing on his screen the 400hp figure. Even more so when I took it to
Pomona for Street Legal Drags, weighed it in at 5,100lbs, and then went
on to smoke the 1/4 in 15.1@95mph (and ya shoulda seen the look on the
ricers' faces, it was priceless!!)!! Lotsa fun in a car my boss calls
the "tuna boat"!!
      Oh, I gotta ? for anyone. where can I find a brass cap & rotor for
my 6'er (Bernd)?? Since Autozone took over Chief here (and closed a
bunch of stores down), they now totally SUCK!! None available they tell
me. Will try Pep Boys and Kragen tonight. Any more info will help!!!
Don't wanna wait 2 weeks from Jules!!
