Hey all you historians: Dave Newell, Bob Helt, James Rice, any others?
 
     This afternoon I acquired a photocopy of a Rochester Products Division 
drawing, Dwg. No. EX-25618, which is purported to be a proposal for fuel 
injection for the 1960 Corvair.  The layout shows what appears to be a 
6-cylinder modification of the mechanical FI system that was used on several 
Corvettes during the 60s.
     What's interesting, though, is that it's shown (quite clearly) on a 
60-degree V-6.  It also appears to be on a water-cooled engine.  What gives 
here?!?
     I have scanned the drawing and will gladly forward a copy to anyone who can 
shed some light on this bit of history.
