I'll chime in...Fantastic job Ted! You are truly an asset to Y-Block lovers everywhere.

Which model Strombergs were used? Stock jets?

The compression ratio (9.2) on that dyno engine seems pretty low for the cam being used. It would seem that 10.0 or more might be optimal. What octane fuel was used?

Now I'm glad I traded my Offy 3-2 manifold for a pair of posted G heads!

Thanks!

Ted, A big "Thank You" to you and your crew for the comprehensive test.  I'm sure it was a labor of love, but it was still a lot of time and effort.  Will help us to build even stronger Y-blocks.  Now, of course, I wish I hadn't sold my Edelbrock 573 and Stromberg 48's that I ran in the 60's.  Keep up the good work!  Nick Brann, K.C., MO - '57 312

Ted - in a word, WOW! What great stuff! Sounds like a nice article for Y block magazine to me (and for any other car magazine). Wonder how the stock B manifold would stack up against Mummert's, just to show the overall improvement between the two. Maybe that information is already on the forum somewhere?

Thanks for all your hard work, the Y block nation commends your efforts!!!!
