Best wishes Larry. You will survive. Times are tough all over.

While the Super 10 is temporally out of commission it will race again. I have the D 4 Lucas Race at Thunder Road in September on my calendar!

One update consideration. I have talked with Dean Oliver about a 4 GC carb and may do that. It will allow the truck to run "C" and be closer to the min class weight.

Thanks for all the encouragement, we will be back .

In giving thought to this post I am struggling with exactly how to present this change.

My struggle is mostly based on my long time, make that lifelong quest to go faster. Yet, here is, a smaller carb. Whew, what an adjustment.

However, at least in theory, the 4 GC does hold an advantage for the Super 10.

Originally I ran it as the 327/300/293 with Quick Fuel 585 carb. As the numbers worked out I was 120 or so pounds too heavy for "B" but could not drop to "C" because the 327/300/293 makes it a natural "A" package.

The truck is as light as I can practically make it [within reason] To reduce it by 100 + pounds would require a moly cage and new moly back half. That is simply not a reasonable option

Enter the 327/250/270 with Rochester 4 GC.

Now I can run "C" and only be about 35 or so pounds heavy.

In addition, with an 11.10 index in "C" I may be able to move up a few places on the qualifying ladder.

So, we will see. I hear good feedback about the 4CG running well and being consistent. Yet, it sure is small

Notice the decal is larger than the carb.

Do you know a part number for that AN fitting in the carb's fuel inlet? I'd like to get a fitting just like that if I can.

Dave,

Dean Oliver sent it with the carb. Deans number 870-830-5470 It is a #8 and he also has them for #6
