God save us from the NHRA tech dept

That is the same car that was 400 hp factory, factored to 410 to start, and before I could build one it was factored to 430 hp. I still haven't figured out if the factory single 4bbl (850 or 3 barrel) cross ram is allowed. We had one of these cars and it had a scoop. It was a Dodge version. Along with 'How have you been?', how do you see it, Travis?

Jeff, I am doing great but busy with our Division 3 swing (3 division races in a row).

The manifold and carb numbers are listed in the tech specs. As a Mopar man you should be able to trace them down through Chrysler.

Well, RLR, it's been a long journey from tech that demanded correct dash emblems for car claimed...'68 doors on a '67?, been done multiple times (vent windows, side marker lights etc, very obvious in ND); also, been about 10-15 years since '72 Nova won _____, after teching as a '68....not much difference, but the slippery slope just gets steeper; couple of wierdo FWD combos also have slid through in wrong classes, dropping from top qualifier positions to lower in the pack....no dog in this fight, but this is not new
