That manifold should of never been approved. It never came on a car and was not a replacement part but a high performance piece from the direct connection catalog. The description in the old DC catalog says that it’s perfect for super stock or modified. This was just like letting the AMC guys have a 780 Holley for their 290 Inch motors. NHRA needs to be more knowledgeable about these older combinations, there are still a couple of guys around that know and they should use their knowledge to keep from making these mistakes.

On another note if you see any of the Chevy guys running the new Edlebrock heads, ask them how they got to the right runner volume. 185 cc intake runners don’t get to be 165 without some serious work.
