There was three distinct “curves” for distribution depending on engine speed using the stock manifold.
Chrysler was locked in on the manifold design for 1966 due to planned launch dates.

I was always surprised they never did anything to further improve on that manifold design for the street.
Maybe subtle carb changes gave them what they needed.



Do you have any technical notes on what the engineers were doing? I have wondered about the evolution of the carb jetting over the years. I get non emission/emission carbs, but Air bypass until 68, then some jet changes even on the 70 carbs.
