If I was a Ford guy and they rated my 302 cu in V8 at 129 HP, I'd be embarrassed.
Look at the 304 AMC (same carb) 180HP, 273 Dodge 171 HP (smaller carb), 258 AMC, 150 HP. I could go on and on. The 302 probably deserved a little adjustment but this was ridiculous. Fortunately, I can hide in V, many can't.
