Max Wedge Interesting Fact
You MOPAR diehards probably know this, but I thought it was interesting that though there are Stage II and Stage III Max Wedges, there is not, and has never been, a Stage I.

Re: Max Wedge Interesting Fact
The "Stage 1" was of course never known as such but it was the original 1962 413. Subsequent improvements were Stage II and Stage III. The term "Max Wedge" was not even thought of back in those days. I don't know when that term became popular. (I was racing back when the first 413 came out)

Re: Max Wedge Interesting Fact
Here's how I remember it. Stage I was a de facto term but NOT for the 1962 413. In mid 1963, Chrysler enhanced the 426 with bigger carbs and a couple of other improvements and called it a Stage II thus the early '63 became the de facto Stage 1. The '64 motor was the Stage III.
As an aside, NHRA never allowed the larger carbs on the '63 models. Al Corda, the LS guy |

WINNER!!!!! Fought with nhra over this for years somewhere i have factory paper work from Chrysler for dealer service and parts dept.that states the 3705's carbs are replacement for the 3447 on all models and years, 3447 carbs were no longer available for purchase. the 3447 was nothing more then an adapted long ram carb. |
