Northstar equipment

[Ken Kelly]

About 2 or 3 months ago one of the Car mags ran an article
on a shop in the southwest doing Northstar based street Rods
with  a Homemade Highrise Intake and carburators. I would
look to them and see where they  ditch there takeoff's.

	I get Hot Rod, Street Rodder, and a few other mags. I think
it was in Street Rodder. If you can't locate it send me
Private email and I will dig through my back issues.
