Subject: 1965 Factory Max Wedge - Was: 1965 Satellite engine options
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.
