1965 Factory Max Wedge - Was: 1965 Satellite engine options

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

This issue of a '65 Max Wedge keeps popping up.  I think I'll contact Jim 
Shields and see what facts he has on them.  


None of the pretty extensive collection of dealer's stuff I have mentions the 
Max Wedge as an option. NHRA does not show a listing for one. My thought is that 
a dealer threw one or some in a car. Would not have been a tremendous problem, I 
guess, to take a production engine out and install a replacement Max Wedge in a 
car - remember, this is 1965 were talking about and the last official Max Wedge 
cars were only a year in the past. Mr. Norm, for example, sold a lot of uniquely 
optioned cars with dealer installed stuff.
