Why?
Because you can't run a D-Dart motor in a Valiant, and his car is a Valiant... looks nothing like a Dart, has a different wheelbase, (106" vs. 111") and never had the 275HP option.

He must be running the 235HP "COMMANDO" 273, a different permutation of the 4bbl 1966 motor. The 275 HP motor is not in the Classification guide for Valiants, of ANY year...
Bill,

I was just pointing out the potential of the 273.
