<VV> they know you are full of ____.WAS 10 Cylinder Impala

OK, Frank ... We will do it your way.  I know I am going to amke
the occasional typo ... so I will stop typing.  It makes no sense 
for me to share information from my GM Engineering experience 
'back when' if the information shared is considered 'null and void' 
because of my typo.  There is no gain for me in sharing so why
should I care if anyone believes ... or not?

It is not a non-issue. If you want people to believe you.

As soon as a part of a story is not true, it leaves the rest of the 
story open to be a falsehood. Such as the push button transmission 
selector on a Corvair. As soon as a person mentions the push button 
shifter, especially on the 4 cylinder model (!)  everything else out of 
their mouth is suspect. So if you are discussing this 10 cylinder engine 
with people who know Chevys, then as soon as you mention it was 
installed in a 62 Caprice test car (or early 60s Caprice as 65 is mid 
60s), they know you are full of ____. Hard to make them believe any of 
the story after that!

Pete, thanks for the correction! But, let me add another part, Caprice 
was introduced in the 65 model year.
