When I
spoke with test driver Danny Eames (and had him look at and sit in my car)
several years ago, he recalled phone calls from Daytona back "home" to
Chrysler for help with the carbs. I didn't know Joe then but the calls
had to be to him.
Thanks, Wayne, for the vote, but they wouldn't let me near any
telephones... They just came and said "Build the carbs like this", and I
did so. They had run dyno tests and mixed the jets for max power
Wide-Open-Throttle. As I recall, each carb had four different sizes of
main jet.
At Chrysler, at that time, there was a distinct caste system, in some part
due to the union-management relationship. Mechanics didn't touch
telephones, engineers didn't touch tools. That's the way it was
then. I don't know how it is now.

Fun to drive, though!
