70 cuda 440 390/377 it use to fit A/SA What happened?

Thanks Larry

[Dyno]

I believe it still does. Where did you see that it does not?

Well... I was tipped off from a fellow Mopar racer that E bodies had their shipping weights revised based on "AMA Specs". The 440 6 Pack is now a natural C car because the shipping weight went up so much. I sent an email to Pat Cvengros and he shared with me that they are updating the entire classification guide based on the AMA weight values. For some odd reason, they began the process without notifying anybody this was happening.

As a formal announcement, I am waiting for some finality to this situation before updating all the data on my website. This will be a huge amount of work that I do not have the time for in my current situation.

Dwight I made the comment in the “AMA” thread that nobody could blame you if you didn’t update anything for a while because the dust has definitely not settled. Perhaps Lonnie has gone into hiding, aka, pulled a Trudeau, but in any case Dave Ley (or somebody) is going to have their work cut out for them approving tech cards at Valdosta.

Thanks. I am working on a review of all the data on the website to align it with NHRA's Tech Bulletins and Class Guides. They have made so many unpublished changes and the data has been in such flux, it is time to go from top to bottom. I hop everyone will be patient. My current job is very demanding of my time so I am not able to work on it with the regularity I have in the past. I will make periodic announcements as I progress.
