Where is everyone - is it too many Halloween treats or has everyone got swine flu - no one has any questions/problems? - therefore its fun time (which one of these items listed were not an option for 1967 GTO) - 1. Stereo 8 Track Tape Player - 2. Verbra Rear Speakers - 3. Hood Pins - 4. Front Wheel Disk Breaks - 5. Deleted Pin Stripes - wow that was tough - however, everyone of them were available on the 67 GTO - now maybe someone will post something

have a good day

How about this:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a progressive dual quad set up (Edelbrock P65 and 2 Edelebrock 500 carbs), a 65 Tri power, and a standard iorn manifold and a quadrajet on a Pontiac 400. The motor follows one of the recipies in the back of Jim Hands book, the cam is a RAIV installed with no advance or retard with Rhoads Lifters, 1.5 rockers, the timing gear is a double roller, the block is a .040 over 70 model, and the heads are mildly ported #13's. The pistons are forged with 7cc reliefs, and headers to 3 inch exhaust.

good one - the dual quad set up and the Tri Power set up have the initial advantage of its larger CFM capacity - however, the 67-73 QJ set up was better and feed the eight cylinders more uniformly - therefore, it was better - the 67-73 cast iron 180 degree high rise manifold is superior to most after market units and has well-blanced runners which have fairly uniform cross sections - better yet - get a 71-72 455 HO or 69-70 RA IV aluminum high rise manifold (one QJ)

drop the rest of the answer on your reply

If the dual quad and the tri power have the advantage in flowing more cfm, then in theory they would in, say a drag race situation feed the engine as much air\fuel as it wants or needs versus the single quadrajet being a limiting factor at WOT not flowing enough cfm. Am I on the right track or am I missing it in some way?
