Chevy didn’t make a 327 in ‘55. The 327 didn’t come out til ‘62. And it wasn’t offered in the Bellaire with the 4-barrel carburetor til ‘64. HOWEVER, in 1964 the correct ignition timing would be 4 degrees before top dead center.
This country has all the sympathy and understanding in the world for right-wing murderers – from cops to vigilantes. They're let off with no punishment.
But that sympathy never extends to poor people who commit crimes of desperation. They just get locked up.
Something the Lil Nas X thing is showing is that American conservative Christians would bring the Satanic Panic back in a second. They’d love to send a teacher to jail for ten years because a 3 year old said they fed him to a shark and the devil and Megatron was there.
