Well, I don't chime in very much, but this thread irritates me. Give credit where credit is due. That 426 Hemi base plate for the N94 hood on a 1970 red Hemi Challenger, auto car was sold to Mark Ainsworth, in IIRC Luling Texas It was April of 1984, He called Me up the last day of March It was a Saturday, I had just picked up a 71 RT, FC7 Challenger, shaker hood, rear rubber bumper, 383 auto on the floor That morning. He called Me that afternoon and offered me the 1970 Hemi Cuda, lime green, original 4 gear car, shaker hood was There. But no scoop. He offered to trade this project car, to me for the TA Hemi base plate And air cleaner lid. I didn't do it. But passed it to Alan Vaset In Dallas, and told Him if He would sell the R code Hemi Cuda Project to Alan, and have Alan send me a cashier check, to let Alan Get the Hemicuda. The previous story of getting a Base on this From Terry McCann is not true. I bought the base plate from Al McDonald in Jersey. It kills Me how these stories are do full of crap. One reason I don't stay active in the hobby. Terry McCann can vouch for my Honest And Al Macdonald Paul Suloff Wes Cree Kevin Kelleher Stan Beckman John Mahoney Paul Mitchell Wayne Perkins Jim Rhinehart Wayne Voigt Danny Irby Tom Guzmich Harlan Avezzie Ralph Yarnell Jerry McClain Al Vespucci I was the first plain old Hemi Owner that got the 3418 652 Hemi Shaker base plates remade by Fram in the summer Of 1980, and sold them for cost to people needing one. $ 63.75 plus shipping No profit, it was not about money. It was about helping People Get Their car restored. Also, off the top of my head, Dave Blake knows me Pat Blais Roland, now gone Mike Crawford Ola knows me. It is funny how stories are not factual. Also. I have know Rick Olczak for 40 plus years. Richard Heidbreder Charles Cheshier Barry Taylor Mark Headrick On the N94, Six Pack 1970 Challenger, they made one I know Of. It was about 50 miles north of Columbus, Ohio. It has since been sold, and last I knew it was in Michigan. I will do some checking. All I ask is Be Honest and tell the Truth. I will Help anyone. Randy PM me for any questions, Thank You.

Randy
Thanks for taking the time to contribute to this very informative thread as it is always interesting to learn more. Your statements about giving credit where credit is due, and that it kills you that these stories are so full of crap, and about being honest and telling the truth, seem to stem from the fact that you were the one who supplied the N94 base traded for the Hemicuda and should be given the credit. If that is the case we commend you for setting the record straight. Regarding the sentence ," the previous story of getting a Base from Terry McCann on this is not true ", since I am mentioned by name, just to clarify,..... I obviously had no input in the writing of that part of the story as that sentence could be interpretted that way. Statements on page 4 of this thread from 2010 are by Alan V ( xs29j8 ) "by the way , the gentleman the air cleaner was purchased from is "mccannix" and by myself "I never could remember who got it or what happened afterwards because this would have been in the mid 80's ". Yes you are well known in the hobby and yes I can vouch for you.... as I'm sure many others you mentioned in the hobby can. It seems that the 'irritation' you have is the way Alan relayed the story, It would be nice if he chimed in but he hasn't been seen here since 2020 All in all, in my opinion the thread is a good read and thanks for the valued contribution.

Anyone remember a black shaker 70 Challenger in Frankfort, Indiana in the mid 70's? I can't remember if it was a 340 or 383 car but it definitely had a shaker. Too bad the cell phone cameras were not around then, nobody carried even an instamatic in their cars then! I saw the car sitting on a street in the downtown area several times around 1975-76...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I get asked a lot if I have pictures of cars from back in the mid 70's. I agree with Rhino that we never carried cameras in our cars back then.... ....we carried beer coolers
