The formula is a sharp sharp car. I just prefer the TA by a little bit. Here's a 71.

Safe to assume Formula and TA performed equal or close enough for like drivetrains? Seems a Formula could be ordered without GM's best performance engines, perhaps even standard, not sure. TA and Z28 seem to have always got GM's best, short no sight of a 427.

Cool video, I thought shakers were vacuum operated anyhow. Hmm, maybe they shouldn't be not sure. https://youtu.be/kZ4g_XKia1I

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
