Hydro, can you tell the difference. Is it worth the change over??

And it looks really neat when the hood it open -

i wouldnt know...... theres no pics!!!!!!!

I had one of the 390's and an Offy way back around '78 on my 2.0. It ran OK.....but it never seemed to perform as well as the Holley/Weber and stock intake. I was drag racing it regularly and street playing and I eventually went back to the original setup. Looking back some nice port work etc would have helped too.

I always figured the 390cfm should be faster...but at 18 years old I probably wasn't that great of a tuner! But it did run 14.60's!!


The linkage setup I remember was really funky..what did you use? Pics?

Road America Track Tour, July 14 at the HAWK vintage classic.  IF you ever get the chance to go - this racing show is the best around.  From Formula One Bennetons to 3 wheel cycle powered Morgans, Formula 5000 cars (14 of them), Can Am, everything except a Chapparral,  smaller displacement sedans - 61 of them took the green in one heat - cubic money Allards and Astons, and one Pinto - ours!
They treated us as if we had rolled in with a million dollar Ferrari.  So we parked and started to unload off the trailer - had the ramps down, gave the car a push, it got away from us and the right front wheel fell off the ramp!  Landed on the lower suspension arm, jacked the car up, pulled the ramp out, no harm, no foul.
Went out close to last for the one hour track tour, had a Daytona Cobra cope replica in front of me  funny how I couldn't keep up with him -  we did pass several BMW's and other high dollar foreign stuff.  Had the Go Pro running the entire time, will try to edit that for some in car postings.  Ran the entire hour, all the street cars were directed off track back to spectator parking, we were directed into the pits!  Foot traffic was bad, and before we got to our trailer we were at 220 water temp.  Shut it off and temp was at 235, air temp was around 90.  My son was about to open the hood when pow!  Lower rad hose separated from the rubber reducer and there went our water.  So we found our weak link, now to redo the hose system with a Loctite rubber to rubber adhesive.  We had as many people looking at our car as the high dollar stuff.
