Forgive me if I am wrong but I am about certain Dave Kempton won in 1966 with a 305 hp 361 in C/SA.

Paul,,
Dave Kempton ran the 361/305 HP combination in 1963/1964/1965. Yes, in C/SA (10.60 - 11.29 Wt/Hp). In 1966, the NHRA re-classed the Stockers up one class,,,, The 361/305 HP (Sedans) ran in D/SA in 1966. The 383/343 HP (Sedans) which were previously classed in B/SA (1963 thru 1965) were then classed in C/SA. Which Dave Kempton ran his Sport Fury in. Dave also ran in SS/EA in 1967,,, before going back to Stock Class in 1968 with a Belvedere 383/343 HP, which ran in C/SA. |

Re: 1962 Mopar 383/343 HP 'Stocker'
Moose,
Doug Kahl ran the 361/305 HP combination in the 62' Sport Fury, which was classed in C/SA 1963 thru 1965. Doug Kahl was the World Champion in 1965 with the 361/305 HP, in C/SA Class. Both Doug Kahl and Dave Kempton ran the same 361/305 HP C/SA combination in the 62' Sport Fury's up until the 1965. They also ran the 361/305 combination at the 66' Winternationals, but in the 'New' 1966 D/SA Class. In 1966, right after the 66' Winternationals both Doug Kahl and Dave Kempton switched to the 383/343 HP Dual-quad combination, which put the Sport Fury's in the 'New' 1966 C/SA Class. Doug Kahl won the C/SA Class at the 1966 Springnationals with the 383/343 engine. Dave Kempton ran this in 1966, with the 383/343 HP engine combination in C/SA, and won the 1966 Indy Nationals. A complete article is printed in High Performqance Cars Magazine May/June 1967. In it, Dave discusses running in SS/EA in 1967, where the NHRA minimum was set at 13.03,,, higher than the C/SA National Record (12.97) that he set in 1966.
