...and yet my 1979 Spirit/AMX, using the very same smog 258 engine as these '77-79 cars do, the same head, same intake, and the same carburetion, is still listed at 150. Really on the ball out there aren't they? You'd think they'd look down the charts for what this engine combo was used in and adjust them all, but I guess not.
Doesn't matter to me yet, as I can't reach the index without a big influx of money, but someday I hope to be writing too.

My understanding is same body wheelbase etc. and not
just engine package to qualify for reduction. Pat has a darn tough job and has really learned a lot in last couple of years! I would not to have his job at any price. In the beginning = I did not like him much ( or him me either ).... I have gained a lot of respect for him. Flame Away
