The damage recently done
 
by a handful of AMC racers and the NHRA Tech Dept. to Stock and SS eliminators is FAR worse and FAR more reaching than any of the new Factory Specials will ever be! The Tech Dept. might just as well do away with Stock and SS right now, give us all 780 Holleys, aluminium intakes and heads and .477 lift cams and call us what we are fast becoming, ET-2.
Look it up yourselves, 66-72 AMC blueprint specs. And nobody got notified about a change.

Re: The damage recently done
 
Now Jeff, responding to your post on another thread, I have sitting in front of me a bunch of musty old books entitled,"AMC Technical Revisions and Dealership Notes". I have 65-68 and 70-72. We haven't found 69 yet but be patient. Now I've just quickly broused through the books and haven't found anything yet. Group1-Engines, Group6-Fuel and Exhaust, and Group19- Performance Parts (68-70-72 only) and I'm not finding anything. Maybe you could tell me where it is that I'm going to find notices for these parts that were allegedly installed by the dealers to replace the factory parts?

Quote from the NHRA rule book, in the engine section: "Equipment other than original factory-installed prohibited. Any special equipment export kit (superchargers, dealer-installed options, etc.) automatically disqualifies car."

Well, did the factory ever put a 780 holley or an aluminum edelbrock manifold on these AMCs?

Wow, I just checked the qualifying at the Div. 6 Woodburn LODRS race, and after the first session, Jim Mantles AMC Pacer is #1 qualifier! I wonder if the 258 6 banger recieved some of this new AMC enhancing!!

Not saying this happened but at that time AMC was using the Ford Autolite carbs like on the 429/460 maybee this 780 Holley appeared the same time frame as the Holley 780 for the 351 Cleveland's. Those cars used the Autolite 4100 and 4300 D was Fords version of a Q-Jet. Could this have happened?

429 CJ got Q-Jet, 429 SCJ got 780. Base 351 got Autolite, Boss 351 and 351 CJ got 780. Different manifolds and cams.
