It's a single plane cast iron intake with an adapter for the Holley carburetor.

771 is also listed as 66 California.

The LD4B Edelbrock intake was approved as a replacement for the 273 due to the fact it was available with a Chrysler part number. The same rationale used on the 440 Chrysler 6-Pack engine with the Edelbrock intake. The 6-Pack intake was available in both aluminum and cast iron.

Looks like it would flow better than that boat anchor.

And using that rationale, the 283s and 327s should have the Z-28 intake and the AMCs should have all of the group 19 stuff back.
Come on out and race the new and improved Stock Eliminator! The same as ET-2 only more expensive and with a lower purse!

There are already 283 engines running the approved 327 intake.
The AMC Group 19 intake and carburetor was removed because of your diligence with NHRA. You should have probably done the same with all the other bogus that has been running out there for many years.

I agree, the 283 should NOT have a 327 intake on it. BUT, at least it's an iron dual-plane intake replacing another iron dual-plane intake not an aluminum high-rise dual-plane replacing an iron low-rise (at best!) single-plane intake.

I absolutely wish that I could. I won't live long enough! Wouldn't it be nice if NHRA set aside a date like January 1 2018 and "reset" all of the f**kups.

Care to start a separate thread pointing them all out?

Billy,
Please do, you're the man for the job.

Awesome idea billy, starting Jan 1 let's get all the bogus welfare off the cars and back home on the shelves where they belong.The cowl hood on 69 camaros.Looks as though NHRA took the initiative to correct this one, I just wonder why they stopped with the chevys and didn't correct the chryslers.

What hoods on Chrysler? Or correct what?

I'm just guessing but I think maybe the Camaro racers took it upon themselves to start using that hood and the Chrysler racers have the factory's books to back them.
