Thanks Bob,,, love that underhood shot of the Thunderbolt. I never realized they ran vacuum secondary carbs and backwards at that! As always, an education is just around the corner. Take care.

Danny, I don't believe four barrel Holleys were anything but vacuum secondaries in 1964.
In fact , all factory Holley engine combos were vacuum, AFAIK
Good luck trying to find the exact year of the first DP carbs on the 'net though ..I give up!

Some interesting Holley history here but nothing specific on the introduction of double pumper carbs, besides the Dominator coming out in 1968 and to the public in 1970. But there are some suggestions that "double pumper" carbs were OEM on a few cars after coming out in the '60's..

That goes for me too, although I wish a picture of Randy Hyman's truck was in the mix. Great pics of Steve Hagberg's, John Cooper's, and Neal Rhodes stockers.

Jeff I miss that race too, and I hope to be there next year. Can anyone tell me what the DF/S index was/is at Bandimere? My guess is a 16.57?

Gary your index would be a 16.59 in Denver.

The combo is the 350/300 HP NHRA rated @ 315 with cowl hood. Only the 350/255 HP combo and the 350/300 rated @313 are not allowed to use the cowl hood. That is my understanding.

If you ever have the opportunity to actually see that car it is spotless. Very cool car.
