Heading up this afternoon.
The swap meet there is always small, but interesting. Two years ago there was an elderly black gentlman (think Richard Pryor's Mudbone character) selling some stuff. Among his stash was a six-barrel set-up that he claimed was for an A12. No, no, no, no, no... Cast iron intake, '70 air cleaner, and a trio of Holley carbs with the fuel inlets on the same side as the throttle linkage! Early Ford Tri-Power stuff... When I pointed out the fuel inlet issue and that there was NO WAY that those were MoPar carbs he proceeded to tell me how his buddy, who apparently is a MoPar Authority of the highest order, explained to him that those carbs were unique to Super Track Pack-equipped cars... Factoring in the Mudbone element it was all quite hysterical and entertaining...and he was visibly aggitated that I was shooting holes in his story while he was surrounded by several other potential customers... :basketcase:
Kinda hoping he shows up again...
