Nobody was adjusting valves in 1975. Yeah, 1975 was 50 years ago. Boy, how time flies!

Aircooled vw drivers should have been. Every 3k miles when changing oil.

I was changing points and plugs every 5k miles.

I beg to differ. Although this is not an American made car, my 1973 Capri has instructions for how to adjust the valves in the owners manual:

OK, it was 52 years ago...... But close enough for me.

The Porsche 924 required valve adjustments every 3-5K in the 80's

Funny how most of the later model cars mentioned that still needed manual adjustments are German.

German vehicle maintenance is easy for the DIY guy...

German and Japanese were using overhead cams while the American cars still had pushrods and hydraulic lifters. Took the US a while to catch up.

While I fully agree with this, it can't be denied that the LS series of GM V8s are really great pushrod engines.

I had a 2002 Camaro SS. If the rest of the car had been as good as the engine (2001 and 2002 LS1 engines all got the LS6 intake because GM ran out of the LS1 version. Mo Powa) I would still have that car today.

Unfortunately, it was a terrific engine surrounded by a Chevrolet whose materials were seriously constrained by bean counters.
