Its an Edelbrock Performer EPS, supposed to give an extra 5hp and 9 lb/ft of torque over what the standard performer gives and has a better mounting flange for square bore carbs so less leaks.
As to how you get treated, pretty much its all smiles and waves and the odd challenge at the lights from the less mentally sharp young lads in small shopping cart hatchbacks with coffee can exhausts and plastic tat stuck to them who seem for some strange reason to think all pickup trucks have pedestrian diesel engines in them.
Just today been to a massive American car show near me, a good few hundred cars from fins and chrome through to todays stuff, via big rigs, military vehicles, bikes and the odd hot rod.
Picked up a bit more "art" to go on the wall in my garage, one repro Chevrolet Super Service wall sign and three old US license plates, one 1963 black plate california, a 76 from Nebraska and a 1983 Minnesota Vehcile in Transit Dealer plate. The aim one day is to get at least one plate from each US State. I've even got a genuine US Traffic light to hang up and get running and some vintage signs from all over, the UK, France and the USA.
These compliment the four I've already got, I try and get them within the right period but its not always possible but I like interesting ones, I can see it could become an obsession!
