Chipper Browns Chrysler. Look what's on the back window.

That is the top fuel car that I was a pit gopher for way back.

Haven't seen Chip in years, he was a partner in the car.

Brings back so many great memories.

Always liked and respected the T Bolt’s. Bobby Tasca helped develop it with Furd. Classic style, power to weight ratio 427 side oiler with teardrop hood.

Only factor racing Cars I liked better was of course our brand, the lightweight MOPAR’S. That gave them a big problem

ie: lightened factory race Hemi’s of that era. And now of course the 170

Original headlight ram air?

 

[Demoniccat]

Yep that be it.

Yep that be it.

Is there a blow off valve in that setup?

 

[jroyk]

Yep that be it.

Just not sure if they were the first.

I think Pontiac used it in the real early 60s?

Norm Krause place.

Blow off valve? Not sure, why would NA engine need one?
initial guess no

Based on picture ^^^ with many white hats, I would say Norm promoting the Dodge White hat Special for spring of 1969.

If under certain circumstances too much pressure is created causing a backup in the carbs. A pressure relief valve type of deal.

The 6 pack cars had water drains which did the same thing.

Id think that’s built into the center section, that’s just meant to be a cold air intake like the hellcat air box basically or the redeye hood, just trying to direct cool air from outside. You shouldn’t have that much pressure from going fast

I need to do something because IATs at idle are hotter than stock with a JLT intake. I might have to come up with a different solution

Heat exchanger. Everyone says they don't work...I don't listen to everyone else.
