Customer called the guy that built his Tri-power and he said his carbs had 74 jets in the front and rear carbs, and 64's in the center. Then he told him to switch them to 64's front and rear, and 62's in the center. He managed to find 2 sets of 64's, but no 62's, so now it has 64's in all carbs[until he can find some 61's or 62's]. He drove it and it's much better. Said it runs real strong.

We built him a 460 stroker a few years ago for this car, but he wanted to use the 326 heads on it to look stock. Because the heads were so tiny, the engine only made 386 HP, but crap loads of torque. It was all done by 4500 RPM, so the car would take off real quick, but peetered out by the 1/8 mile. I told him these heads are better suited for the small engine, and would probably run pretty good on it. The 460 is just trying to breath through a straw with them. He decided to have us build the 326 to put back in the car, and use the 460 with better heads for something else. He said this 326, to him, feels faster than the 460. Said it pulls real hard all the way through the rpm range now, and can't wait to get it back out to the track to see if it is actually faster than the 460. I can't wait either. It will be interesting. The 326 that could?
