Josh, I agree pretty much 100%. But I think a big part of the problem is the way these parts are manufactured. For example, let's say you've got a set of trim forming dies - one for each wheel lip molding. You send them out to a supplier in the stamping business - even a very good one like

The model series will show if it was V8 or 6 but not what size V8 or 6. Example for a base '64 Elky, 45380 was a 6-cyl and 45480 was V8 - the Custom El Camino got a 45580 for a 6-cyl and 45680 for a V-8. The trim tag model series should match that portion of the VIN. Dale McIntosh ACES #1709/TC

Hi Richard, I personally think you should stay away from Accel spark plug wires. I prefer MSD Super Conductor wires. They're rated at only 40 ohms per foot and you can get bendable boots allowing you to angle them for your specific needs. cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino, LS6, 6 spd, Currie 9
