1967 Match Race 'Dart GTS 383' vs 'Firebird 326 H.O.'

Negative on the 1967 Dart GTS 383,

Of course besides the anemic exhaust, and additional weight on the nose {#176 lbs.},
- was the 'de-jetted' Carter AFB, and a poor flowing cast iron Intake Manifold.

The Carter AFB's {#4309 - Manual} and {#4310 - Automatic},
* 1 7/16" x 1 9/16" = Throttle-Openings
* 1.093" x 1.537" = Venturi Size

Were de-jetted at the Factory, and only had a Flow-Rate of 537 CFM's.

The Camshaft {Hydraulic} and Valve Train, was good for normal daily driving,
but for anything else it was.......horrible.

Draw-Back, was that the 67' GTS 383 was only available from the Factory
with 3.23 Sure-Grip.

In March 1967, Dealer's were instructed from Dodge 'Bulletin Sheet', 'not'
to install any 'Optional' Gears for a customer on the 'newly' released GTS 383.

Those Chrysler Bastards........
