Re: Danny Byrd
 

I don't know about all of these posts but ...
My brother had a non drag race, stock 327-350 and it was a rocket ship for the time - it weighed an once (2875) and beat anything it came up against. May not relate to NHRA stock eliminator but I have always felt it was one of the fastest cars ever produced in America. He beat my '61 Plymouth with a 413 and 2 4bls - for which I have never forgiven him ...

BTW - I thought the 442 Olds had q-jets in '64

Go easy on me I am old

Re: Danny Byrd
 

The only GM cars that didn't have the Qjet in 67 were the Pontiac Bonneville and Grand Prix 4bbl 400s..The Firebird and GTO did get the Q jet though.

I guess it should be noted that the original Qjet didn't use the choke pull off to dampen the secondaries..but rather a plunger valve in well that was filled with gas from the float bowl.
Of course you don't have to use that style today in NHRA racing.

Re: Danny Byrd
 

No. They had a fairly large 4GC 4-jet

Undoubtedly, the most common on the '66 327/275 from the factory was the small Holley, followed by the AVS and the QJ. That the QJ's weren't on the majority of cars is true...but what's also true is they DID come on some of them.

NHRA recognized this, and ruled on the legality of the QJ on the '66 327/275's. End of story.

Some of use have been around long enough to know and remember what happened, both as racers and/or NHRA Technical Advisors. -Al

Hey guys, looks like I won the bet. And it had nothing to do with any q-jets...:p

And I've never been in Brooklyn either. And I never had an Uncle with a Chevy II. And I don't have any issue of "Fast Cars and Big Uns", do you? :rolleyes:
But I have worked at gas stations.

What AMX?

I thought this was a 327/350HP combo????

Re: Danny Byrd
 

The 327-350 does have the small Holley, not the QJet.

The thread veered off track into what was legal on what combos of 327's...hence all the different references to small Holleys, AVS's and QJ's. -Al
