Look what I found. Circa 1975. Lot of people didn’t know they were also into Mopars especially hemis.

I had a number of those Direct Connection books back in the day. You'd get one each for SB, BB, or Hemi. Plus the catalogs for performance parts. I still have a pair of chrome BB valve covers I bought around that time.

That isn't a Direct Connection book, look at the signature. It's from Motion Performance Phase III, usually known for big block Vegas and 427 Novas etc. If you can make out the print, it says that their first book was for Chevrolet, the next for Pontiac and this Mopar printing was their third.

Motion did some Oldsmobiles too. Even the occasional VW!

Yeah, I really didn't look close enough or look at the other pics. I know Motion well enough. I lived nearby my entire youth, and had been there in person numerous times in the 70's. I'd seen their operation and their cars in person.

Direct Connection had several manuals to set your Mopar up for whatever bracket you wanted your car to run in. They were a wealth of information when the aftermarket catered to the brand x cars and the Mopar owners were on their own to do whatever it took to beat them!

I have all the original performance bulletins that were issued prior to the performance books. Also have early '70's "Hustle Stuff" catalogs and price lists.

Speedwin Automotive in Hauppauge L.I. was a well-known Mopar shop back in the day.
