This supplemental page was put into the Guide after the '57 Chevys dominated the 1957 Daytona Beach race while using their fuel injection units. Although it wasn't a 'fuelie' that won the race - it was Cotton Owens in a Pontiac (see picture below and note the 57 Chevy behind him) - NASCAR still banned the use of fuel injection on any of their race cars, a ban that continues even today. This supplement clearly lists what parts (with part #'s) that were needed to convert the 'fuelie' engine into a single 4-barrel carburetor one that would meet the rules requirements of various racing governing bodies such as NASCAR.
End of Part 2 ... look for Part 3 soon!
