Just curious, was the MPC decal on the real cars hood.

Welcome to board Bertrand, look forward to seeing your Fords as I retired from a Ford dealer after 40 plus years with them.

Looks great Helmut, I was lucky and saw it run at Mosport IIRC it finished 2nd.

I really like what you've done to improve this kit. I could be done to the rest of AMT's altered wheel base kits.

What you actually see here are two separate systems on Graeme Cowin's Fuel Coupe similar to those employed by most of today's fuelers. They're made by NOS, but they have nothing to do with nitrous oxide. The bottle contains compressed air and the two smaller solenoids are air valves used to engage the fingers of the multistage lock-up clutch. The larger solenoids are NOS's new Pinch Valve fuel lean-out system. Placed in the return line from the pumps to the tank, these valves bleed off fuel (leaning out the mixture) any time the driver hits a button, as opposed to the old-style mechanical lean-out valves that work on fuel pressure.

This may not be exactly right but close.

Copied from the NHRA site. Remember drag racing’s version of “the Terrible Towel?” A takeoff on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 1975 playoff fan promotion, crew chief Dale Armstrong and his merry group of pranksters on Kenny Bernstein’s Budweiser King team raised eyebrows and suspicions when they started covering a component on their Funny Car when the car was in public and then quickly and deftly removing it just as the body was lowered. Everyone got so intrigued by it that the team spray-painted a question mark on it, further ramping up the furor. As Armstrong explained to me years later, the device had its origins in trying to create an automatic shifter for Bernstein but repurposed it instead into an automatic high-speed leanout jet that would kick in between 3.6 and 3.8 into the run. “It was unique, so we covered it up, but it wasn’t that big a deal, really,” he said. “But when everyone made such a big deal about the towel, we made an even bigger production out of it to mess with everyone’s head."

So do I , lots of great information.

I'm sure Don would have liked it.

I believe its Racer Brown also, There's one on Slixx Drag Nostalgia sheet 7036/NDCS3 but its a little different.

I write what company paint color I use beside the part on the instruction sheet and on kit bases I'll keep a note book.

The Revell 69 Z28 intake manifold can be easily modified to resemble the manifold your looking for.

The Camaro was right before the Dusters. Check out this article. https://www.dodgegarage.com/news/article/racing/2020/09/two-in-one-california-flash-and-mr-direct-connection.html
