225 1 bbl go to guy

Billy Nees · 01-25-2019, 08:55 AM

i just went to "old faithful" classracer.com and the 73/74 318 specs are EXACTLY the same. It SHOULD be as easy as a phone call to Pat C. to get the 74 to 169.
I repeat, SHOULD!

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, now that's a challenge. So looking at the same specs, there are (2) 318-2 HP ratings, 150 and 170. Looked at the internal specs and there is no difference that I can find, Typo? Same carb,cam compression....?

I purchased Mike Jeffery's '80 Dodge Diplomat Super 6 powered V/SA 2 years ago. He had gone a second under with the car and held the record several times.

My best was has been -.97 under. The car is a consistent -.70/-.80 under. The car is NHRA rated at 144 HP.

Because of extenuating circumstances, I was unable able to make any divisional or national open races in 2018. Hopefully, that will change this year.

Thanks

Phillip knows......He raced one for year. The 2 Brl. is MUCH better combo.

I think he set Nat'l record with 80 Aspen Wagon 225/2 Brl
that used to live at my shop some years ago.

Mike Jeffrey held the record 2 different times with the car Curtis has. IIRC, he went 1.27 under. It was not fast when he started. He and Phillip wrote letters and got some HP taken off. Over the years Mike got hit twice, but it would still go 1.05 under. Last time I helped him at Tri-State he still had the "Denver" setup in it and went 1.001 under on the first pass.

He always told me the 1bbl combo was a turd. I wanted to try it because I had a Duster. No 2bbl on any Duster.

Your only hope with it is to build it, get it as fast as possible, then state your case and hope Uncle Wally will take some HP away.

About 2bb in Dusters, awhile back in an old scrap yard I came upon a 75-6 Duster with the super six (2bb) didn't look like anything had ever been changed from stock.

I bought a feather duster years ago that had the original aluminum intake with what I thought was a 2bbl. I still have it somewhere lol.

Am I remembering correctly they had a 2bbl?
