Mark,
  Some info on the other cars-

  The #63 1967 Mustang is one of the factory Shelby Group II customer cars originally raced by a guy named Fred Sutherland. It's currently owned and driver by Peter Klutt from Legendary Motor Cars.

  The #28 car (Metuchen Special) was an independent car built in 1969 by Dean Gregson (who used to be Tasca Ford's and Harr Ford's High Performance sales guy. Sort of a clandestinely factory  backed car, it was raced both in A/Sedan as well as Trans Am. Now belongs to Brian Ferrin who is based near Sonoma CA. It also runs twin Dominators (as the #15 Parnelli Jones 69 car does), although the hood wasn't open while I was there.

  The #22 Acapulco Blue 68 Mustang hardtop was an original GT with 390 4 speed that Bill Maier bought new and immediately turned into a Trans Am and A/Sedan raced with a 302 (not sure why it didn't race). It wasn't on the entry list so I don't know who owned/entered it.

  The SS Jacobs #16 Bud Moore Boss 302 was a (I believe) Weat Coast car owned by Jim Hague. Not sure if it was a leftover 70 team car or if it was one of the Body-In-White cars built new for 1971. Originally driven by Peter Gregg.

  The #15 69 Bud Moore Boss 302 was actually the first Boss 302 raced, in the Citrus 250 at Daytona in Feb 1969, driven by Parnelli Jones. Owned by another West Coaster, Jeff O'Neill.

  Glad you liked the photos.

Thanks,
Dave

A couple of pictures of a Dominator intake, NOS Dominator carbs mounted and the offset distributor that you need to make it work sitting in a 69 TA dampner.

I see a couple of the Cars painted the Engine Compartment with Trunk Splatter Paint. That was a thing to do back in the early 80's.
