I can say that this car had an aftermarket Hi-Rise on it when purchased and a Holley Double Pump.
Which manifold and carb. is anyone's guess because I was 15 years old.
The bracket is Orange as stated and probably just switched over from the stock set-up back then. It had big Hooker Headers and I remember a neighbor talking to &quot;Little Mike&quot; the owner about horsepower one night. They were just adding the #'s from ads in magazines to come up with a figure. The conversation went something like: So you have Hooker's so that's 50 to 75 and a Hi-Rise so that's another 50 then the double pumper another 50 so this car must have at least 500 horse!!!!

It certainly ran like it did but a little unscientific no?
