Re: 1965 Plymouth Satellite '426-S Street Wedge'
The overall production numbers for the 1965 426-S 'Street Wedge'.
Plymouth = 4469
Belvedere, Belvedere II and Satellite
Dodge = 2100
Coronet, Coronet Deluxe, Coronet 440 and Coronet 500
These cars were not abundant, and by 1969, very few were running at the Drag Strips.
For NHRA Stock Class, they had a hard time; only 10.3-1 compression ratio, small exhaust port heads, mild hydraulic
camshaft, mid-range pressure valve springs, poor-flowing intake manifold, and under-sized 575 CFM Carter AFB carburetor.
No match for the 1967 thru 1969 'Super Commando' 440/375 HP Mopars.
