    In 2011 the MSD 6A and 6AL will be all new! New digital control. New power. New rotary dial rev limiter. Same great MSD style. The ignitions have been redesigned from the ground up with the performance enthusiast in mind.

    The engineers put all digital controls inside so that the box delivers more power while drawing less current from the vehicle’s electrical system. Then we added a sealing, locking connector that all of the wires are routed through to add to the clean look and make installations even easier. Finally, for the 6AL the rev limiter was turned into two rotary dials and moved to the face of the ignition for easy adjustment in 100 rpm increments.

    Designed with the Small Block Ford racing enthusiast in mind, these heads give you all of the benefits of professional CNC porting - straight from the factory! However, the CNC porting is done off of a known port, providing more airflow consistency than hand-ported runners. In addition to the CNC-ported intake and exhaust runners, the combustion chambers are also CNC-ported to moderate valve shrouding and maximize airflow efficiency. Prior to porting, the heads are given a multi-angle Serdi valve job for up to 5 % more airflow right from the start!

    As a teenager in the muscle car era, Mike Guarise lived within cruising distance of Chicago’s Nickey Chevrolet, then the largest Chevy dealer in the world and the source of what are now some of the rarest and raciest Chevrolets ever built. Back then driving his own Nickey supercar was just a dream, but the dream became a passion and, in the last thirteen years, Mike has found and restored ten Nickey originals, an experience he views with great pride and satisfaction.
    “I consider it an honor to have been their caretaker,” says Mike. “Having had that pleasure, it is time to share them with collectors who have found it nearly impossible to acquire one of these great cars.”

    Exciting News!

    We have just joined forces with NICKEY Chicago to sell their vintage gasser straight axle kits for '55-'57 Chevy & '62-'67 Nova. We took a ride in John Tinberg's (NICKEY Chicago Fabricator) '55 Chevy with a Supercharged 409 and his '63 Nova with Hilborn Injected 502. These cars are not only very fast, they track and ride beautifully. You would not know that you are riding in a "typical" straight axle car. And with bias ply tires! We look forward to working with NICKEY Chicago selling and installing the best straight axle kits available!

    The year 1978 was a great era for Oldsmobile



    1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme advertising


    Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.


    I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values

These ‘change-over’ cars (often referred to as ‘carry-overs’) were essentially Shelby-spec ’65 GT350s, and received the same performance modifications,
