Now THIS is cool. You are looking at the induction setup off of a 1969 Boss 302 Trans-Am racer and because of that you are also looking at some of the earliest Dominator carbs ever produced. Seriously. Debuting in 1969 and first found on Ford factory race cars, the Holley Dominator changed the game and was so popular Holley did not start selling them to the public until 1970! The entire year of 1969 was devoted to supplying the demand from the racing word in stock cars, SCCA Trans-Am competitors, and of course the drag racers wanted in on that action as well.
Knowing that about just the carbs it will come as no surprise that the intake manifold here is crazy rare and often really expensive when sold by itself. The distributor and throttle, linkages are both great to have and carry more than their weight in the value of the package.
This stuff is in such remarkable shape we are wondering if it was ever on the track for actual racing competition. The distributor looks like it was manufactured yesterday and while the carbs are clean they do have some stuff on them to indicate that they have been used. The intake manifold has the most “wear” on it and that is basically just some evidence of having been on and off an engine.
It would be totally nightmarish on the street but how radical to pop the hood and see THIS sitting on top of the engine in your street car, right?!
eBay: This intake package for a 1969 Boss 302 T/A racer absolutely rules
Ford better idea? let’s see, 302 inch engine, 2300 cfm induction system, and a cork up it’s butt, because the heads were designed to accommodate basically Falcon shock tower architecture. Brilliant.
So you have no idea what a 1969-1970 Boss 302 head is do you? Aint saying that\’s not a lot of carb….
You also need to know it was an IR set up,one Venturi per cylinder . The intake has no plenum.
