Never is a pretty strong statement when talking about Chrysler products. Especially those that were built at the end or the beginning of a model year.

that old line “never say never with Chrysler”is the biggest line of BS I’ve ever heard. Other than the stones are the worlds rock n roll band. WHO?

You work at a the factory, a deaership, or a repair shop and see masses of these then your getting somewhere.

I have worked in a repair shop for over 30 yrs, have worked in Chrysler dealership, have a salvage yard with mostly old mopar, lots of 62 - 72 models lots of mopar trucks, including 83-85 fuel injected ramcharger, I have in my possession a 426 maxwedge block that I removed from a new 71 Chrysler bought new in Brooklyn by a lady that left on vacation and lost aradiator hose @ the painted desert and was replaced under warranty @ dealership I worked at, so lots of things were done by Chrysler in those years, Mr Hopkins lost the battle, but if he appeals he will win the war, been there and done that with mopar stuff

Chrysler intake manifold is of the month .
So said intake 666 is illegal soooo I guess Mr Hopkins was ready with another intake in the trailer cause it may be wrong. But I will bet it’s the better piece. So if I show up with wrong intake on my car will I be able to get same mulligan. Don’t think so

Some people might think the 301 is better......

I think James has a good question here! With all this talk of "tightening up" by NHRA tech, will it be like this example, put another part on at the same race and go racing, or your out and come to the next race with other parts, or 1 year suspension???? How's this going to work??? Will it be the same in all divisions????

I would think that if the infraction is something simple like this and can be corrected before qualifying is complete then you should be able to fix the car and continue. No harm no foul.

If it is WRONG enough to get you tossed, I am not so sure it can be called a SIMPLE infraction...

To be fair, this example was more "you're out and come to the next race with other parts" than it was "put another part on at the same race and go racing".

Thanks for the correction. I believe it is important to be factual and in this case I wasn't, not intentionally, I just hadn't seen a clarification like this.
