| I can tell you what happened to my 390GT by adding a Aluminum PI intake. I bought a '66 Fairlane GTA brand new. With a little distributor curve work and BTF31 Autolite plugs it ran a best of 14.95 at Puyallup Raceway a cool spring evening in '68. Prior to that it never ran better than a 15.00 in Pure Stock. This car was stock with 3.25 equa-lock gearing, no power brakes/steering, glass packs with original stock exhaust system out the back. For my 21st birthday I asked my mom & dad for a new PI intake in '69. It was an in the box C7AE intake. First time at the strip with this manifold the car ran consistent 14.50's @ 98 mph. Again no other changes. I stupidly sold the car to a student of mine in '76. He did little to nothing to the car and he ran 14.25 at Seattle Raceway! He was about 70 pounds lighter than me. That had to be it. Oh, I did add a Ford Muscle Parts dual point kit/converted to centrifgul advance around '74 but it didn't seem to help ET/mph. That intake is a winner!! |
