History Old downloaded pictures I found

I found these pictures on an old 'Zip' drive. I know some of them came from the H.A.M.B. but others may be from my old dial-up days.

Even if you've seen them before they're fun to look at.[

 

Second batch -

 

And a third bunch

 

The last ones

 

Damn, some great stuff!

Thank you for sharing.

It looks like I've got some 'doubles' - will try to fix later

 

Wow, that 55-56 dash saw some carnage! Wonder what happened?

 

clutch/f/wheel happened!

 

Ouch!...again, makes me wonder, ambulance or hearse to pick up the pieces...

 

Great pics Dave, I can relate to a few of them. My first time to the drag strip was in a 62 Chevy 4 speed, dual quad, posi traction 409. The car was brand new and at the track I saw a whole bunch more of them racing. We popped the hubcaps off put the Atlas Bucrons on and opened the dumper caps. I was hooked. I saw Charlie Hills "Filthy Forty" at a Div. 1 race around 63 and when it stood up on it's back bumper I went nuts having never seen a wheel stand like that before. Thanks for the memory lane trip.

12 plugs on an inline 6. I'd like to see the other side of the engine.

 

@Bandit Billy I think the other side is shown in the second picture posted....

 

Billy, it only had six plugs, Wayne head on a Chev 6, Spalding Bros.

 

The shot of the flywheel carnage in the tri-5 Chevy, I have looked at that picture for over 50 years, and never noticed the Hilborn fuel pump. Must have been driven off the magneto, similar to this.

 

Thanks Marty but what's with the redundant distributer cap holes?

 

The Spaldings built ignitions, and used a 12 cyl cap, not sure why. Pat had one in the Roadster I built him.

 

Thanks again @Marty Strode

 

I never thought I say this, but I like the stripe. Much enjoyed the pictures, my thanks as well.

 

That clutch explosion was at San Diego Dragway in Ramona, CA

 

It's always interesting to see the car photos a guy collects as that gives you some insite as to what his real automotive interests are. A person would go nuts tryiing to figure mine out though as I like way too many styles of motor vehicles.

 

I think the Spaldings started life as a 1931-1937 V12 Cadillac

 

Great pictures thanks.

 

i think it is to double the dwell

 

Great pictures.
