Author Description

The General Motors Fuel Injection history can't be told just by itself because the GM Fuel Injection timeline parallels that of the Chevrolet Corvette and the Chevrolet V-8. Every step at the Chevrolet Motor Division in the development of the Corvette and the V-8 were in preparation for Fuel Injection and every step in the development of Fuel Injection was for the Corvette V-8. The General Motors executives responsible for the iconic Chevrolet Corvette, the Chevrolet V-8 and the legendary "Ramjet" Fuel Injection program at Chevrolet Motor Division were Harlow H. Curtice, Harley J. Earl, Edward N. Cole, Harry Barr, Zora Arkus-Duntov and John Dolza. It was a great surprise and privilege for the author to read the original GM Photographic Log Books and decipher where Fuel Injection photographs were hidden all these years. Had the original photographer's assignment and description not been so obscure who knows if they would still be there! Nearly 40 years of engineering and management experience in General Motors and 30 years researching the Rochester Fuel Injection system, provides the author with insight and perspective necessary to tell the GM Fuel Injection story including the interactions between the Corporation, Styling, R&D, Chevrolet Motor, Rochester Products, AC Spark Plug, Packard Electric and Delco-Remy divisions. This softcover edition is 609 Pages with over 1000+ B&W Images, many never before seen. The book was the NCOA 2007 Corvette Book of the Year Award winner.
