Billy maybe your list should be titled "Look What Santa Brought''.

1. 1968 L88 Chevy carb on the 67 Shelby.

Bill Hawk · 01-09-2011, 03:42 PM

Hey Larry, hope you and Patty had a happy holiday. FYI the carb is a 1967 L88 carb, NOT a 1968. That was the only good carb Mr Shelby could find back in those days. Anyway, hope to see you at the races this year, with both of our "bogus" cars. One new, one old.

Bill Hawk it will be great to see you and the rest of the team in 2011, but not in the other lane. Good luck on the new car.

Bill just one question, how does the 1984 spec. not include the 1967 L88 carb?

Bill Hawk · 01-10-2011, 06:06 PM

Hey Larry, to answer your question in the 1984 spec all that was listed for a carb was 4150. Which is correct, Mr. Shelby gave NHRA the correct carb number in 1996 which is 3418. NHRA wouldnt tech the car in with the carb i orginally had which was a 1000cfm 4150. So now i get stuck with this 3418 which is only 850 cfm. ( BTW 4150 is a wide range of carb numbers and sizes, 4150 just means dual feed, Hope this straightens out any confusion).
