DoctorLarry Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Since we have a new board format for "NASCAR Under Glass, I'll be a guinea pig and re-post my Baker Olds:
THarrison351 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 That's a great looking car! Nice plumbing and wiring too! It's great to finally see a correct carburetor on a stock car. So many builders use a Dominator carburetor from the drag racing kits. I believe the Ford Boss 429 was the only NASCAR engine these were used on (Ford worked with Holley to develop them)
DoctorLarry Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Herb Adams' Pontiac Grand Am home built car did use a Dominator. When I was researching that build the pictures showed one so that's what I used on that one.
DoctorLarry Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) If you have not seen Fireball Motorworks resin carburetors, to call them a work of art is an understatement. I have bought Holley and Rochester Quadrajet carbs and the detail is mind-numbing. That is what I used on the Olds. The Pontiac was another resin copy of a Dominator. Much less detail on that one.

Jim N Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Really outstanding work! Writing "Great job" seems like such an understatement.
