Thanks for that info !

I'm not building a Stocker. There is only bracket racing in my area. I have a bracket car I'm workin on.

I'm just trying to come up with all the info I can about past & present Pontiac Stockers. In that, I'm trying to come up with all the possible competitive combos. Just thought this one MIGHT have potential. But, I don't have any experience running 2-barrel carbs, except on dirt tracks. So, I have no idea how quick any particular Pontiac 2-barrel combo could go.

From what you say, it would be taking a BIG chance to build a 2-barrel Pontiac, not knowing whether it would even run the index. And not knowing when or IF, NHRA would reduce the hp.

I suppose the only way to experiment, might be to build an engine that used the same shortblock & heads, for both the 2 & 4-barrel versions, if such an engine exists.

Anyhow, at least for now, I'll forget about 2-barrel Pontiacs. Most competitive combos have a Q-jet.
