Some of 74 TA's have fuel issues. I've never found a smoking gun but believe it has to do with the gas tank venting system. Installing a Holley with dual bowls usually doesn't solve this issue. The author of the letter could've ran his Super Duty down the track until it starved for fuel then back of the throttle, let the bowl refill, put the pedal to the floor and still get to the finish line before his replacement Corvette. Obviously more of a sports car enthusiast than a drag racer..... A lot of muscle cars off the showroom floor had a better chance of covering a quarter mile with a full tank of fuel.
