Ron, a couple of items. One, beer is really good. Real problem with Indy as I am short one unit to carry beer, but we are working on it. Second, while this discussion was going on, I thought about you. I think your wagon is a 66 in U/SA. I couldn't remember if you had a 318 Poly, a 273, or a 318. When Greg mentioned the 72 formula for factory power because Andrew got the new power facctor applied to his pre-new power car, I seem to remember that the 318 67 till death went from 230 hp to 169 hp and I was wondering how that would work in your car. I was thinking about Captain Jack also, but I don't really know what power plant that monster has, I thought a 283. Then I had a couple beers and got to thinking about Jim Boudreau(x) and got a general idea from an engineer friend of mine that low 20% is most adjustment by the new SAE formula used in 72, so I had another beer and used a 375 69 hp number, subtracted 22% and came up with 292 hp I think. Now using the Hill & Hill logic, Jim has a bogus car waiting for the correction. Now I don't know what NHRA will do with the 45 years of experience on that particular motor. Short version is how would your car do at 169 HP. Would you be bogus with us? And I got two choices on the beer transport; Since we only got one motor home (the other didn't survive the woods) and are taking one and a dualie with a single trailer, I could load the back with beer, but I worry about the exposure to the elements, or we could bring a small amount (10 or so cases) which in Louisiana cost 18.99 plus too much sales tax in our great state, and get my lovely ladies from the Midwest to secure 36 packs from the supermarket in Brownsburg at the same price and less sales tax. Ron, I am sure you can help me here.
