Spotted at local car show!

This is the craziest TPI I have ever seen! Undeniably unique....

Re: Spotted at local car show!

Would you get any benefits from doing this?

Shouldn't the carb be mounted in the center for even fuel spread?

I cant think of any benefit at all, i think this is a case of oldguy-itis, note how the injectors are in place but not used, this was one very very strange car... I imagine spraying fuel down the runners must kill any power it could make....

Re: Spotted at local car show!

damn, that guy beat me to it. I was going to do that mod this summer with two 1050 dominators !!


What the heck is with the racing stripe of rust on both valve covers. that has to be intentional

Re: Spotted at local car show!

This setup would run like complete crap IMO. You would lose so much fuel in the process I couldn't see how it would even work!
