"Memories, pressed between the pages in my mind.....memories."
Just got this "Velocity stack" out of a box in the garage. This very one is on my truck the day I brought it home Dec 1974 when I was 15. I have never seen another one like it. I am so glad I saved it. No, I am not a hoarder, I save things that really matter, things I could never get again.
I think I need to make a piece of art out of this one day. And YES that is the velocity stack sticking up ABOVE the top of the cowl! Brian

Re: "Memories, pressed between the pages in my mind.....memories."
If you are new to the forum you wouldn't have seen this intake that I have posted a million times (sorry older dudes.)
It was home made by my brother and his friend in high school metal shop class. I bought the truck from his friend and that friend just passed away about a month ago. I jokingly called it the "Martin-Duarte Tarantula tunnel tube." Brian

That was quite a piece of engineering for a group of high school kids.

Re: "Memories, pressed between the pages in my mind.....memories."
I just sent an email to the guy I believe sold that intake for me. It was one of his friends, that would be so friggin wild if I could get it to hang up in my garage!
