Re: IML: Back of '62 Imperial Broadcast Sheet

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

If the 62 Imp was offered with dual quads,it most probably was the same as my 62 300H, which were in line.My 60 Plymouth Sport Fury, had the 383 SonoRamic Commando(Long Rams)but no A/C. The long Rams were on the 61 300G, and I think A/C was on those.It would take some different bracketing, since the rear of the compressor was braced from the front of the standard cast single 4bbl manifold.Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.
