[Chrysler300] Single and Dual Quad history

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

As per usual, very informative responses to my questions.  Now, did
Chrysler?s dual quads come out before Cadillac?s in 1955?  The batwing/delta
wing aircleaners are similar and manufactured by the same supplier (Delco)?
See, for the somewhat jazzier Cad version:  http://tinyurl.com/2z7s9e
Anyone ever see those big chrome spinners for the oil bath pots on a
Chrysler?

The data at that site indicated Cadillac got 270 HP from 331 cubes at 4800
RPM while Chrysler got 300 HP from 331 cubes at 5200 RPM.  11.1% more HP at
8.3% more RPM.  We should all be glad Chrysler was willing to go with the
full race cam and solid lifters to win that contest and start the horsepower
race.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber
1955 Chrysler C-300 (Actually won a best of the '50's trophy in a parking
lot full of Ch****s and F**ds last weekend!)

Of course, any time I venture outside Chrysler, I'm in great peril. 
However, Buick in '52 on the straight eight employed either the Stromberg or
Carter four barrel on the Roadmasters.  Olds got a 4bbl in '53.
Thanks for the correction that only the '54 DELUXE New Yorkers had the
Carter WCFB (William Carter Four Barrel!).
