Did the 1979 Lil Red Express come with an air pump?

That article is funny. It mentions a 650 TQ as well. And the prototype got a 252/252 cam while the production EH1 got the 340 cam?

pretty wild.

i can understand the prototype getting all the **** hot parts what with dodge skunk works being, well, dodge skunk works and hoover's involvement.

that's the third mention of the 650 TQ, which really has me scratching my head. i've pulled, handled and rebuilt my fair share of 70's~80's TQ's and never seen such a beast to my knowledge.

ETA: my google-fu isn't usually super strong in the am, but i unearthed this gem from dick landy via mopar muscle column in 94

"There are two basic ThermoQuad Carburetors: one with 1 3/8" primaries and 2 1/4" secondaries for the 318 and 340 (A) engines and a Holley comparison CFM of 650 CFM. The second one had 1 1/2" primaries and 2 1/4" secondaries with a Holley comparison CFM of 820. It's used with some 360s and all the 'B' engines. Actually, Carter called this one a 1000 CFM unit. Their airflow numbers were measured differently than Holley. Also, some ThermoQuads the secondary air-door limited, which also decreased
the secondary air-door limited, which also decreased the CFM."

so maybe it's just a matter of flow rating, method of flow rating or an installed limiter.

the secondary air-door limited, which also decreased the CFM."
