Is that a low deck block or RB? RB. the rams were too close for comfort, and along with them not being the same size ports as the indy heads(max wedge) my buddy made a set of 1" thick intake spacer/port size smoother transition pieces. now there is plenty of room. | ||

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | In Joakim's first pic, above, #3 was a 1959 Poncho that was tuned by my Hero Smokey Yunick, but the car was owned by Jim Stephens, and driven by Glen Fireball Roberts in the 2/22/59 Daytona 500 race. Unusually, for a Yunickmobile, the car qualified in 46th spot (out of 59 starters) and finished in 45th, after retiring on lap 56 (out of 200) due to a "fuel pump" failure. Roberts won $650.00 for his efforts; the winner, Lee Petty (in a 59 Olds) won $19,500.00. Top placed Mope was Dick Joslin's 1957 Dodge (probably not a D501) which went out on lap 167, for 28th place (having started in 27th) and earning $100.00. Robert's $650.00 was equivalent to a 10th place finish: "The lead changed hands 33 times among seven different drivers. ...Fireball Roberts started 46th, but had the lead by the 25th lap. He had shaken loose from the rest of the contenders and was leading by a comfortable margin when fuel pump failure sidelined his Pontiac." --40 Years of Stock Car Racing; Vol. 2 Smokey is seen, kneeling in front of the car.

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | LOL---If I get one pin-hole leak...YOU get TWO pin hole leaks! Howabout throwing in some sort of un-natural disaster, like, your dual point leaking all over a wheel cylinder, causing your car to skid over a cliff, while my car stops safely, because its single-pot didn't develop any leakages in it? Also, of significance is the much greater volume of brake fluid contained in a single pot, than most dualies. In that mythological "pin hole" leak, the fluid would escape only upon applying the brakes, so that a twice- yearly inspection of a single-pot would reveal a lowered fluid level---which, by then, would probably have drained a dualie's resevoir. Wooda/cooulda/shoulda...Halloween was last month. Edited by d500neil 2012-11-23 6:53 PM | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | OK, ... I Googled it. Looks like they made that one in 60-61, a single headlight version in 62 with a goofy looking bezel, and the 63-66's look pretty much the same like the 60-61's did. | ||
