No I did not miss the point. I stated that I was glad that GM stopped using them.As for me I replace them with something better.I am not into restoring something back to that much originality.If i were my 55 would have a boat anchor six for power and also my 65.Whereas my 55 has an -ss kicking built up 350 in it, and my 65 is powered by a 500 cu.in. Caddy.Just the way I like em.No offense to you guys who want to retain the original power,but this old guy likes a little get up and go.
