George and Rusty’sGrand Adventure Chapter One

by Scott Pfuehler1965 Corvette Convertible194675S120646Trim Tag 407BA 900uu

George Brock went to Dean Bailey Oldsmobile tobuy an Oldsmobile and almost did, but as he was

doing the paper work, a red 1965 Corvette was rolledout onto the used car lot. Scratch one Oldsmobilepurchase and into Corvette ownership went George.Paid three grand for an almost new Red/Red 1965Corvette convertible that had been built 9-15-65 andhad 3000 miles on it. Just months before the Corvettesold new for $4450. All of this happened in thesummer of 1966.

If you want to tow a boat with your Corvette, you haveto have a trailer hitch, so the ‘65 got one. A Corvetteconvertible towing a boat was a true nurse chickmagnet if parked at Hillcrest Hospital. The hitch holesin the bumpers are still there, but, alas, no hitch.

Lots can happen in a hospital parking lot. Once anurse parked her car, it rolled down the hill and struckthe unsuspecting ‘65Corvette in the rightfront.

In November of 1968George was draftedinto the Army. HisCorvette had 26,000

miles onit, but hedidn’t sellit.Insteadhe left itat hismom’shouse.As itturnedout,George’s sister needed transportation from Tulsa toCentral State University in Edmond about that time.So that red ‘65 Corvette got an additional 20,000miles on it over the next year or two and Georgewas OK with that.

On April 24,1968, George and Sherry were marriedwhile George was still stationed in Alaska and homeon leave. But they had to get back to Alaska, so theydrove Sherry’s Volkswagen bug. When George gotout of the Army, they drove that bug back to Tulsatowing a trailer. Another adventure all in itself. It tookseven days and a 5,000 mile trip each way. Georgestill has that bug.

By 1971 George and Sherry (notice the picture ofthe two of them on their wedding day in theCorvette) were ready to buy a house. The price ofgas was going kind of nuts then, so the red 1965Corvette was sold to Kenny Bennett. (He’s the redheaded kid driving away in the Red 1965 Corvette),Kenny sold it to Johnny Owen, Nathan Hale class of‘65, but I’ve lost track of the year. George took lotsof pictures (actually slides) when he sold hisCorvette and for every other event. Don’t hear muchabout slides anymore.

During one of those slide shows with a projector andscreen that were a form of family entertainment wayback, the new addition to the family who was 13 in 1986saw some pictures of a red 1965 Corvette convertibleand wanted to know about it. When told that it had beenhis Dad’s car, son Rusty Brock began his journey intothe Corvette world. He started wanting to find theCorvette. Some time later a police officer friend lookedup the VIN and told Rusty the Corvette was still around.Rusty got a phonenumber andcontacted thatKenny Bennettguy who said that“yes, I still own theCorvette” and thatRusty could comesee it since heasked so nicely.

George and Rusty tried to buy the 1965 red Corvetteback from that guy but no luck, although money didalmost change hands in 1989 (a princely sum of$14,000 was the offer) but the guy’s wife wouldn’t lethim sell it. Damn!

George wanted a Corvette and since the red 1965wasn’t available, he and Rusty found a very original1965 yellow coupe. George bought it and still has it.They kept in touch with the owner (KB), but it just satuntil 2010 when KB sold that red 1965 Corvette--tosomeone else.

The new owner wouldn’t sell it either, but he did say thatall he wanted was a Red 1965 Corvette Convertible andit didn’t have to be George’s old one. So hearing thatRusty found ebay and the search began. It didn’t taketoo long before Rusty found a 1965 Red/Red Corvetteconvertible for sale on ebay. They hooked up the trailerand off to BF Egypt, they went. They bought the ‘65without hardly turning off the truck and returned toTulsa. They took it straight to the new owner, unloadedit and loaded up George’s 1965 red Corvette convertiblethat he bought in 1966. Then they took it home againafter a 45 year absence.

Owning a 1965 Red/Red Corvette Convertible for thesecond time. Life is Good.

Chapter two of this saga is a “Now what do we do withit?” George and Rusty will have to keep us informedabout that.

National Corvette MuseumDisplay 60 Years of RochesterFuel Injection andthe AMA Racing Ban

by John Neas

Ralph Kramer, who was head of Public Relationsfor General Motors from 1973 to 1995 and was a key supporter

of the NCM, gave me acall and asked for myBob McLean SR2. Hewas putting together adisplay to celebrate the60 years of theRochester Fuel Injectionand not celebrate butnote the AMA RacingBan of the same era,which killed themanufacturing emphasison racing. (FortunatelyGM still had people whoworked on racing anddevelopment undervarious subterfuges, i.e.Heavy Duty, Off Road,Police, etc.)

I told him that a carwhich I already hadthere would fit thedisplay. It’s the 1957Mark Henry/BobRosenthal car whichwas the first RPO 684car, had (and still has)an engineeringrecalibrated FI Unit,other prototype parts,and was the runner upfor the B ProductionChampionship. Ralph’scomments were thatwould be fine but stillwanted the SR2. I saidI would have it there byDecember 15th. Made itthere on the 15th, and it was 19 degrees. COLD!!

This will be about a four-month display and will include one of my twofavorite Corvettes which is the 1957 S.S. The display will also havethe Partridge ’57 Sebring car plus a ‘63-65 Cutaway ChevroletCorvette Motor with Rochester F.I.

Thanks to Mikeand Nancy Phillips

for being suchgracious hosts toour 2016 NCRS

Christmas Party

The Corvette Adventure(A continuation of Pat and Kelly’s Corvette Adventure}

By: Pat Cavanagh

I had just come back to my desk after lunch withsome of my colleagues on a sunny June day in

1982. I was a young sales engineer at BarberColman Company in Loves Park, Illinois. Little did Isuspect that my career and future was about to take adramatic change that afternoon.

Our Division General Managers’ executive assistantSherrie called and asked if I could come over toJohn’s office and speak with him. This was notnormally a good thing on Friday afternoon because itusually meant that you were being let go. I racked mymind trying to figure out what I had screwed up as Imade the 5 minute walk over to John’s office. When Igot there, Bill, my boss, and John were sitting in hisoffice talking with the door closed. This was not agood sign!

They invited me in and I sat down in John’s office. Iwas told, “Don’t worry you are not being fired!”Instead they wanted to promote me to run ourEuropean marketing and sales operations. But itwould require Diane and me to move to theNetherlands. They needed an answer the next week.That evening Diane and I made the decision to moveto the Netherlands.

We moved to a beautiful condo on theWesteinderplassen Lake in Aalsmeer, Holland, in lateAugust of 1982. The Company ordered a new FordSierra with the 2.3 liter V-6 engine and manualtransmission for me to drive.

The Ford Sierra was a new aerodynamic designintroduced by Ford Europe in 1983. On a long straight

section of the Autobahn, it would reach 195 kph (120mph), but it was very sensitive to side winds,especially over 100 mph. This car was later importedto the United States as a Mercury Merkur XR4ti.

I learned how to drive like a European at high speedsin this car. Growing up, I always thought a quicksprint to 100 mph in my Corvette was exhilarating andnow I averaged 100 mph on the autobahn.

One evening in the fall of 1985 I got another call fromJohn, and he asked me to meet him at our Europeanheadquarters in Hofheim, Germany. He again saidjokingly, “Don’t worry you are not being fired!” Whenwe met early the next week, he asked me to head upall of our European Operations as the ManagingDirector. We did, however, have to move to theFrankfurt area from Aalsmeer in the Netherlands.Over the Christmas holiday in 1985, Diane and Imoved to Frankfurt and settled into a very comforablehome in Schwalbach, Germany, at the base of theTaunus Mountains north of Frankfurt.

When I began working at our headquarters inHofheim, the Company took back my Ford Sierra andreplaced it with a brand new 1986 Ford Granada with2.8 liter electronically fuel injected engine, a 5-speedand ABS brakes. The Granada was larger and morecomfortable than the Sierra and it would reach 210kph (130 mph) with its 2.8 liter electronically injectedengine. While this car was faster, it was no match forthe 3 liter class of Mercedes and BMW sedans thatsome of my friends drove.

I always found it interesting in Germany when youasked someone how long it took to get to another citythe answer was always “What type of car are youdriving?” In Germany speed mattered!

But in the summer of 1986, the husband of one of mycolleagues who was a local attorney decided to sellhis low mileage Porsche 911 coupe. He had orderedthis car new, and it was red and devoid of all optionswith the exception of the performance package, AM/FM radio and aluminum wheels. I decided to buy thatcar.

The German executives of our company typicallyworked on Saturday mornings and I would drive thePorsche that day. I purposely would take a shortdetour down Autobahn #5 to and from work. This wasa 17 km stretch of dead straight three lane Autobahnon the east side of Frankfurt going south to Darmstadtwith no limit.

This Autobahn was used for top speed testing of racecars by Mercedes Benz in the 1930’s. It was alwaysdeserted on Saturday mornings and I enjoyed theadrenalin rush of driving that Porsche flat out around240 kph (150 mph).

Over time I proved to my friends that their BMW’s andMercede’s were no match for that 911 Porsche, but Ialways had to kept an eye in the rear view mirror toget out of the way of that Ferrari or Lamborghini thatwould pass me like I was stopped.

The thing I remember vividly was the front end of thatPorsche would become very light over 120 mph, andit would want to change lanes with just a small gust ofwind. I ultimately put a front spoiler on the car tomake it more stable at high speeds, but it took a littleoff the top speed.

This experience taught me to appreciate how a lightpowerful sports car could shrink time and distance. AEuropean friend once told me that Germans usedhigh performance automobiles like Americans usedsmall airplanes.

The Fuelie is Alive

In early December, I prepared the L-84 engine out ofmy 1964 Corvette for the dyno testing at K & Sengines. The engine was dropped off on a Mondaymorning, and Kent called me on Wednesday tellingme it was mounted on the dyno. Thursday morningwe added Champion break-in oil and a zinc additive.We then primed the engine with an electric drillmoving oil to all of the rocker arms. Next, wemounted the fuel injection unit and distributor. We ranthe distributor without the ballast resistor, so we wouldget a very hot spark with my non-resistor Autolite

#295 spark plugs which are equivalent to the oldAC46 heat range plugs.

I was full of anticipation as this engine had not runsince 1986.

We made several attempts to start the engine withmarginal success. It would start and run a fewminutes and die. We pulled a couple of injectorsand confirmed the engine was getting fuel. When Ipulled a spark plug, however, we found the sparkwas very weak. We deduced the condenser wasbad even though it was brand new. I drove toGrand Prix Auto Sports down the street from K & SEngines and purchased a new condenser to usewith the Standard DR2270XP points. Success atlast, the engine started right up and ran well. Aftera 30-minute break-in run with varying loads andspeeds between 1700 and 3500, rpms we decidedto make a few power pulls. I decided to limit themaximum speed on my newly rebuilt engine to5500 rpms.

We began making power pulls increasing the speedon each run from 3000 rpm to 5500 rpm in 500 rpmincrements. We watched the fuel/air ratio closely.After several runs Scott adjusted the fuel injection unitair fuel ratio power stop to obtain 12.0:1 to 12.7:1under hard acceleration and to 14.5:1 to 15.5:1 on theeconomy stop at a constant rpm and load.

When we reached 4800 rpm in our testing, the enginestarted breaking up. At that point we replaced thenew 091 Delco coil with the original 1964 Delco 091coil and we replaced the Standard high performancepoints with Accel high performance points. I alsoreplace the ignition wires with a set of solid core wiresthat Kent had lying around in the shop. We noticedthat the manifold had a small leak on top of themanifold. We were running out of time that eveningso we pulled the manifold and I asked Kent to facethe mating surfaces on the manifold the first thing onFriday morning.

Kent faced the mating surfaces of the adaptermanifold, and we reassembled the engine with thechanges we made earlier and then we readjusted thevalves. With these changes the leak disappeared andthe engine easily reached 5500 rpm.

The power was still climbing when it reached 360 HPat 5500 rpm. My guess is that it would reach veryclose to the GM rating of 375 HP at 6200 rpms.Torque reached 361 LB-FT at 5000 rpm but the realstory was that torque was over 340 LB-FT from 3200rpm to 5500 rpm. This engine performed better than

the factory rating of 350 LB-FT between 4400-4800rpm.

I put together a video of our testing for everyone toview on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QDqb41lMQk
