1969 Chevelle Restored By The V8 Speed & Resto Shop Wins Again!

Congrats to our friend Al on winning another car show with his '69 Chevelle! It seems every time he takes it out he brings home some kind of award. This time, it was First Place at The Hill Car Show in St. Louis. Oh, and the week before, he won People's Choice at the Waterloo Optimist Club Car Show in IL. Way to go Al, your Chevelle is one of the favorites we've restored here at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop!

Dyno Carb Tuning a 455 powered 1969 Pontiac Firebird with Oxygen sensor at V8 Speed & Resto Shop

The only real way to know your air / fuel ratio for certain is to measure the exhaust with a wideband Oxygen sensor.    In this case, this super clean and freshly restored 1969 Pontiac Firebird came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop to have the air / fuel ratio measured and the carburetor tune corrected on the dyno by our technicians.    The car is running a Pontiac 455 V8 and is hooked to a Tremec T-56 6-speed manual transmission.   Fuel is provided with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, and the suspension and brakes have been upgraded for better ride and handling. 

The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team analyzed the air / fuel mixture and tuned the carburetor for maximum performance, as well as optimized ignition timing.

1970 Pontiac GTO Ram Air III 400 5-Speed Conversion and Upgrade Video at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

We've worked on this clean 1970 Pontiac GTO several times here at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop, and this time, we installed a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission from Modern Driveline, complete with a hydraulic clutch and a Hurst shifter.    

In the past, we've removed, resealed, and detailed the Ram Air III 400 cubic inch V8 engine, and upgraded it with a March serpentine accessory drive system.   

The owner Mo is a US Army Veteran and has become a great friend of our team.  He and his wife really enjoy Classics and Muscle Cars, and we appreciate them as customers, friends, and general positive role models for the car hobby.

1972 Plymouth Cuda 340 Customer Spotlight Video V8 Speed & Resto Shop

This clean 1972 Plymouth 'Cuda came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop looking for some performance upgrades, so our team installed some Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, Dougs Headers, and topped it all off with a Holley Sniper EFI fuel injection system.    We installed disc brakes up front, and added a set of YearOne 17" Rally Wheels wrapped in BFG tires.    We built a custom exhaust for the car, and updated the dash with some AutoMeter gauges.    Overall, it's a great cruiser with show-stopping looks. 

We're happy to help you with your Muscle Car project, and you can contact us at or by calling 314.783.8325.     The V8 Speed & Resto Shop is an authorized dealer and installer for thousands of performance products, and our team is top-notch.    We look forward to hearing from you!
