    Stabbers and Bearcats were in '72 from what we can tell.
    HP was a little different due to the year but not because of the package
    from what we know. Do sidepipes add HP, it is probably offset by the sudden
    drop in speed when you snag a speedbump!

    Anybody sellin a v8?

    I wish I could take the emissions out, but it seems Airizona cares about keeping the people with better cars on the same level as those with crappy ones. ( Emissions removal is illigal, isnt it?)

    You can remove the emissions eqipment on a '73 and older. Later models (in most states) must retain air pumps, catalytic converters, EGR, and unleaded fuel filler necks...

    what is an air pump?(i know it pumps air but what does it do on cars does it throw back some of the exhaust into the intake?:huh: )

    and what do u mean by a unleaded filler neck:hmmm: i know unleaded is the lower gasoline but do u have to change it when u remove the egr stuff?:huh:
