Mr. Nees,
Many of us remember the successful blitz that you leveled against Jeff Lee's bogus combination. I applaud your efforts in that situation but there is another more egregious combination right in your neighborhood. That being the Carp/Hoven Hemi. This car is also worthy of your corrective attention.

Correction: Not a bogus combination and educate yourself before making statements without any research.

The AMC's were allowed to run a replacement, over the counter, intake and carburetor and had been approved by IHRA and later NHRA. The AMC intake and Holley carburetor were part of the AMC factory parts catalog with its own section. At the time, the basis for the allowance was the same premise as the 1971 Boss 351 using a Holley carburetor in lieu of the Motorcraft carburetor. With the Boss 351, due to the overlap of the solid lifter camshaft, the dealer's service departments were having issues addressing driveability and idle issues with the Motorcraft carburetor. Therefore, the factory released a service bulletin with instructions to replace them with a new Holley carburetor that Ford released to address the issue.

The AMC deal is similar to what took place as to the use of the Mopar Edelbrock LD intake manifold on SBM's that also had a factory part number that was also rescinded.

Instead of being a keyboard warrior and throwing Billy into the fray, since you appear to have a lot of knowledge, why don't you take the initiative yourself and address the Carp/Hoven Hemi with NHRA? By the way, Todd Hoven is one of the many, hard working racers out there, easy to talk too, and you may even be interested in addressing the issue directly with him face to face.

Care to elaborate?

Firstly, Mr. Nees invited us to discuss other cars that may be bogus. I threw him into nothing.

Mr. Nees has also expressed his reservations, on this forum, about the Carp/Hoven car.

The combination as raced was never built by Chrysler.

I didn't "invite" us,you or anyone other than James Perrone who I invited to start a thread. As far as I know, he hasn't started said thread so you haven't been "invited" to discuss anything!

Would you please provide me with a link to my "expressed reservations"?

You don’t even know what combination I run lol.
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man conversation over.

Secondly, Mr. Nees freely showed documents that proved the Lee car to be bogus and, indeed, some of the documents that had been submitted by Mr. Lee to NHRA were supposedly less than Kosher.
So in the end I'm only discussing information that has already been presented here.

No. this conversation is not over. I know more than you would like me to know. You are racing a car and beating other racers with a car that was never built by Chrysler and you owe it to all of us out here to provide verifiable information on your combination. There is no reason the rest of us should lay down for you or anybody else. Prove your car here or we can petition NHRA.
