Cotton Perry's H/MP #2352 Chevy II(s)

I saw it once with what appeared to be three Weber 55 WDCOE carburetors, and once with what appeared to be three 500 cfm Holley two barrel carburetors. I never saw it with Holley 4 barrel carburetors, but that does not mean they did not try it.

I think some of the stuff they did was to try to collect more contingency money- I don't think Weber was paying contingency money in Modified Eliminator in the '70s, so if they could figure out how to make it run the numbers with Holley carbs, they could make more money.

They had the same issue with intake manifolds, and if memory serves, they used to run completely hand-fabricated custom intake manifolds, with Edelbrock logos attached to them, in order to get paid.

I worked tech in Div. ll 1970-75 and don't remember 3x4 carbs on the car or any MP car. Rules were 2x4 or 3x2 in modified. Did notice something I didn't remember in the 1976 rulebook. It stated that on 1/1/77 modified production classes will be consolidated with the gas classes but In don't think that ever happened.

The Vette on the magazine cover was likely a gasser. No front bumper and bumpers were required in modified. Also there was no carb limit on a gasser.
