Mark Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The stock engine has two carburetors, as did all stock 426 Hemis 1966-71. The NASCAR engines had one carb, this air cleaner attached to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Eriksen Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I guess the question is what version of the car are you building ? The NASCAR version would use the Hemi/single 4bbl/and the air cleaner that draws in air from the cowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Eriksen Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 ..............and I guess MPC called it "close enough ! " lol 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have seen more pics of 1:1 units that resemble the MPC kit piece, than ones resembling the Petty '64 unit. The NASCAR piece in Jo-Han Mopar kits is squared off like the MPC one as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
