77 to 78 TA shaker changeover
« on: August 14, 2024, 10:15:36 AM »
Here's a notice with date and even models at the point of when the low-profile '77' TA shaker was changed for the larger '78' shaker. (still in 77 model though).

Wow, that is cool info for the 77 guys. You really amaze me with the info you find, even being on the other side of the world. Though the interweb sure helps I'm sure.

79 Trans am low buck LS swapped
79 Formula 301 (Work in progress)
67 RS Camaro (waiting it's turn)
69 Dodge charger on late model charger chassis
49 Ford F1 on a 2003 Chevy ZR2 Chassis (current project)
Names, Luke. If I hear anyone telling me they're my father....

Just sorting through some old Bulletins and Manuals. Lots of trivia and info but not always of interest to most. Some things like these don't pop up elsewhere though. This is from the 1977 Dealer Technical Bulletin. A few 77 guys need a copy of this in their glovebox at shows when told they have the wrong shaker!
