The HP and gas mileage was asolutely terriable, it took twice as much fuel to do same amount of work. They were lean, timing sometimes was 'o' degrees. It was cleaner, but not much. Engineers at that time were just trying to pacifie the goverment as far as omussions go. Most auto companys have come back with 10 to 1 high swiral combustion and a lot more quench area. At the time the thinking was open chambers were better for flow making more HP. Yes and no! when you lose all the positives from quench area it's much more beneficial to have it than not. 'Flash' is a term that we use in racing when a engine burn it self down. Ray |
