Wink Re: AA/SA @ Norwalk OH

Myron, that is the birdbath, bathtub, etc. We had a SS/DA motor we ran in a mud truck with AFB'sX2 on a rat roaster. The ride was so violent the carbs didn't work well. A friend who used to own Arrow Racing Engines in Detroit sent me one of those and we used a race 850 on it. It was about 50% better, and then the Dominator we put on it was even better. Picture this; a 79 Dodge W150/ SS/DA motor with the Birdbath, 727 T/F, Turbo Action Converter, 2 to 1 reduction in the transfer case, 5.38's on each end, and 4 32" tractor tires on the corners in a 3/8 mile mud oval 4 times around. Now that's a ride!!!

Larry,

Just curious, what's the problem with the L-88 carburetor?

Back in the 70's I had several friends order L-88 carbs. (850 cfm) over the GM parts counter. Never a problem.

I have tried to seal an AAR hood to the air cleaner. It does not work like the T/A challenger hood. There is a vacuum and it hurts performance. It was tried back to back on an AAR stocker.

And besides that they are not a good looking hood.

The T/A scoop is a beautiful piece for sure.

Ever compare the AAR to the shaker?

Larry,

I think I read your post incorrectly concerning the L-88 Carburetor.
