That one that the "Bag Ladee" has on eBay is a '61. I've learned thanks to this forum the subtle differences between a '60 HP and a '61/later single 4V HP intake.
Easiest thing to spot is the angled carb base of the '61 intake. A '60 HP intake has a flat base.
I now have two '60HPs and one '61HP. Just can't have too many. I actually bid on that '60HP intake that sold this morning on eBay. And I was asking myself why too? But I set a limit of $200 and was high bidder until today. I was happy I didn't win it. No excuse for owning three '60 HP intakes unless you have three '60 HP cars.
Another subtle difference we have found between the '60 & '61 is the slightly larger runners of the '61. It's visable. I had read the '61 articles that indicated there was a 10% increase in '61 HP intake flow to match the increased cubes. I didn't believe it until I had the two side by side, upside down, every which way but loose. There is a difference.
Do you want to see? I'm feeling pretty competent with that digital camera. Later, when I get home I can take a pic of the one on my '60 "352HP" which is where the '61 is attached firmly. See Kevin, I'm living dangerously. I'm going to run an angled base on a '60! Crazy me. I want that 10% increased flow for my 352.
And then I can show you the flat boy '60. It's being saved for the real 352.
Gee I wish I had an air cleaner for a '60 HP. |
