hi all,
my '57 is a long bed,. its a 3200 and has the longest of the 3 bed lengths 
that were produced then, also, i have a quadrajet on my 355. most everyone i 
know who is into cars and such says long beds arent worth anything. has 
anyone else had people tell them this? why? personally, i like the long beds 
a LOT more than the shorties,. theyre good, but the long beds look more 
proportional to the length of the cab.
most people i know also say quadrajets are "quadrapukes" and "quadratoilets" 
why? mine works perfectly, even having never been rebuild, i get 20mpg on 
mid grade gas, and theres still plenty of power in it. whats so bad with 
them?

one last question,.. will a '70s 350 water pump create too much presure for 
a stock heater core?  i have my original to truck, non-leaking, non-corroded 
heater core, and am wondering if i could hook it up straight to my water 
pump, of if i should put something in the feed line to keep pressure down.

thanks.
