Re: Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers
 

And....... your issue is?

Re: Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers
 

The two 318 Combos are 2 Barrel with small carb and manifold.
They are not like the later 230 HP with a Thermoquad Combo.
We were never able to run under the index with with the two barrel
on our car Although it run over a second under with the four barrel
combo on top of the engine.
I do not think a few horsepower is not going to put them in top
16. What it may do is let a couple cars compete that I know of that
otherwisecould not run the index. The 69 and 73 Combos are 2 Barrel ONLY
and not able to run 4 Barrel (Four Barrel starts 78).

no issues here Jeff I just like to see if I can wind you up, need to keep your blood circulating

Re: Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers
 

I think I see one that will run really hard. We will see soon because i am going to put one of them together. I am positive the one two barrel combo will go one second under plus and then some.

Re: Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers
 

I know which one your not going to build lmao. I don't understand how you can have more compression and less hp.

Re: Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers
 

That 69 Dart is suddenly a very good "dime rocket".

Re: Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers
 

Sam: What year combo and Horsepower is your
318 2 Brl. have you been running? I knew but
I can not remember.

73 dart

Re: Christmas continues for MOPAR rsacers
 

What I don't understand is why this is specific to a 1969 & 1973 Dart (only)? I
As far as I know, the 1967-1971 318 2bbl is identical from year to year. If not 1967-1971 at least several years are identical with the only deviation possibly a carb?
And the 1972 318 2bbl is the same as a 1973 2bbl (and possibly the 1974 318 2bbl?).
And why do Dart's get this new HP and not Valliants? Seems to me this should be all "A" body's with 318 2bbl's and auto trans; with the higher compression pre-1972 separated from the lower compression 1972 engines and later with similar specifications.
