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?
Ron

Oh yeah another guy from the hood worked as a mechanic for a Chevy dealer and he decided that this car had a Super T-10 in it??? From the sound of this car whining though the gears I'd say possibly a M-22 if that was possible. Then another guy on the block actually knew a thing or two and said by the tach reading almost 3000 at 55 it had 3.73's. My guess now would be 4.10's.

Whatever the package was it worked, the car was cleaning house back then for a short while.
