JollySipper Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Something I've never understood about the long ram induction..... it put the carbs right over the exhaust manifolds/headers..... Wouldn't that heat the intake charge? I always thought you wanted that as cool as you could get it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Gabe, I checked Drag City before I tried Harts Parts. There may be other who re-cast it too. Harts was just the first I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back then they were worried that the fuel wouldn't vaporize completely going through those long runners to the engine. We installed heating tubes from the exhaust manifolds to the bottom of the carburetor mounting area to help atomize the fuel and make sure it didn't cool down too much. I worked on that project in the Performance dynos at the Chrysler Tech Center back then. Check out the picture in the above post by GTX6970 and look under each carb and you will see a pipe going into the intake manifold. Here is another picture showing the heating tubes.

Not trying to be a dick either, Just saying If you are building to the exact sing lyrics, you need a Super Stock Dodge (which happens to be that they were only Darts) , a 413 and Ram induction. The whole thing together is not correct but it is the song lyrics. I just pointed out what a Ram Induction was and provided a picture for reference as that was asked by the OP. A lot of builds are not "correct" because we build them for our own enjoyment. It's all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about this from Warren Zevon's "Roll with the Punches": "Johnny had a '57 Chevy, four on the floor and a 429." A 429? Why? Because it had to rhyme in the next lyric: "We used to take it out on Wild Horse Pike, run it out to the end of the line." As you said, it's all good.

The Junkman Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Given the time frame of "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" I have always visualized this car, or one just like it. Maybe a 1963. Change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
