Around early 1970s I race a 63 Plymouth Bel. with a 318 with 2 four Barrels and factory cast iron intake with carter 3258 and 3259 AFBs. It held AHRA record at 12.88 @ 102.80. Formula 8 some Letter Designation. A weird combo like many AHRA Cars in those days and never a NHRA combo.
I acquired it for a set of Stage 3 1964 Max Wedge Heads from Burbank Speed which was run by Smith Bros (Pro Trans fame) as I seem to recall.
It was called the "Baby Bee" as I remember.
I Street Raced it some on Sundays in Fullerton Cal with LA Street Racers and drove it the mile or so from my car lot to where we raced.
Sorry my memory is not any better anymore but that is about all I remember.
