  • More Hot Rod Magazine tomfoolery

    Seems Hot Rod Magazine wants to sell the 72 Pontiac Catalina....

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...13049870#v4-41

    They started a 3 day/no reserve auction about an hour ago. I might bid on this and worry about getting it out here later...

    I'll throw in 50 bux

        2bbl carb does not mean "economy" if it's in a barge with a big CI engine

          We had a 69 with the two barrel . Gennerally pulled 18 on the highway . Some think this is economical . It just depends on what you tolerance for pain . (in the wallet)

            If it was a two door, I'd be all over it. I still have pains for the one that got away the summer before my senior year of HS.

                they must dump more than the primaries of the four I assume.

                I am hacking a 2gc all the way down to 1781cc.
                278-352 cfm. (not sure what it is yet,will figure out later)


                Flow Rates


                It depends on the size of the venturi. Refer to the info below.
                Venturi size CFM
                1 3/32 278
                1 3/16 352
                1 1/4 381
                1 5/16 423
                1 3/8 435
                Keep in mind, 2 bbls and 1 bbls are rated at a 3.0 in/HG pressure drop an 4 bbls are rated at a 1.5 in/Hg pressure drop.

                  No, the 2bbl would have to go. This would be a good candidate to play with EFI though...

                    Is there some history to this car? I'm trying to figure out why this is interesting?

                        Not sure on the back story with this car, but if it is coming from El Paso I am guessing Todd over at MSD has some involvement!

                          Is the double roll pack of paper towels and the single roll of shop towels in the back seat included in the price of the car?

                            Maybe they'll throw in one of those new MSD Efi setups if that's the case. I wouldn't mind one of those..

                              Cheaper than a couple/few plane tickets? HotRod's version of Austerity?

                              Or more likely bought as a engine donor and the story idea was shot down before step one was finished, step one being get-the-car-home?

                              And what the heck is a YTH400 trans?
