Match Race ~ 1965 Valiant '273 Commando' vs. 1973 'Duster 340'

Speaking of yourself, rbdart? I fully understand the times then and now. Those numbers are NOT with slicks, timing adjustments, or carb tweaking. ALL of which the OP said was legal in this race.... making those numbers laughable because they don't apply to this created race :banghead:
Nope,not speaking of myself,apparantely you do not understand....why are you so nasty and pissed off? Believe what you want it's just a conversation no need to break out the ballbats and get so defensive or up in arms...chill out...and a 318 with same components as a 340 will never run with the 340 regardless of the gear or what its in the 318 will always be roughly 2-3/10's slower give or take,this is a proven fact...I like 318's ran them alot,nothing wrong with them...these posts are from historical publishings and magazines and Ma Mopar,lot of them are not all that accurate and some are dead on,you have to take it all in with a grain of salt,and in real world of everyday driving and racing on the street/strip and the average joe can get many diff results,some stand the test of time and some are just freaks,it's all for the love of the hobby and no 2 people or groups are necessarily gonna agree or see eye to eye so dont take it personal,but if you lash out or start ripping peoples asses you will get the same thing in return,dont go attacking the OP and being disrespectful and expect to gain any friends,it's one thing to agree to disagree,which is fine but be polite and courteous about it,we all have beliefs and opinions and different experiences and they're not all going to be the same,and if it bothers you so much that you cant be respectful then dont read it or post on it...pretty simple..you can make alot of friends here and learn alot or be a troll and not...and I am sorry if you were offended by my post,but I stand by it....now lets get on with the show...I'm 54,been doing the Mopar thing since my mid teens and am still learning new things about old things and have experienced many things that some accept as standards and some in disbelief,doesnt bother me,I keep on moving forward in what I believe and know and when I get to a problem or am in doubt I ask for help and counsel and have gotten alot of good advice here and have made alot of friends and have had alot of good experiences along with a few sour grapes but all in all this site is the best place to come and converse and enjoy the Mopar hobby,whether it be A<B<C<E body or trucks you wont find more info or help anywhere,so lighten up man let's all go in the same direction....
