Not Ranked
Removing the 3X2bbl carbs/intake was the thing to do. The secondaries on the 3X2bbl were vacuume and did not open reliably. They were wont to open in a corner when a bump was struck and the hp soared from perhaps 250 to 400 or so... not a nice event on a stone-wall lined country road in NH.
Not that the old Holley's were THAT good (compared to today's highQ sensor systems that flow a correct F/A Ratio at WOT & low RPM), but they were better than the 3X2.
Had a nice Silver 435/427 '67 Coupe, with side-pipes in 1967. Very dicy at high speed, too much front end lift. Too loud an interior resonance from the pipes, unless you opened both windows about an inch or more.
But, plenty fast and great tranny/syncros. Still got the side window paperwork somewhere.
