I just found my 1976 NHRA Rulebook. It shows the weight break at 15.00 to 15.99 for "R". I'm pretty sure that I ran "R" at Indy in '78 and "N" in '79.

I believe between '78 & '79 or thereabouts, they combined the six half-pound weight breaks between "I" & "N" (inclusive) to make the current one pound classes of I, J, & K. Everything else moved up at that time so the '65 Chevelle Wagons became "N" cars instead of "R"s. The 283 has been moved up, down, and around on HP from 220 to 235 in those cars, so who knows what they weighed at any given time.
