Looks like the fuel lines are being routed to the driver's side of the carbs in that photo?

---

Hmmmmmmmmmm, good eye John

The fuel line runs on the passenger's side of the distributor to the fuel pump on the Sox car and not on the other side like production

It just says correct, original Edlebrock intake and holley carbs ... doesn't really say they are the originals, but it does seem to imply it.

if the intake+carbs were taken from another a-12 made within the same batch, had the same numbers on it , no one i guess would be the wiser... there are no other numbered stamps on either...correct??

---

And a person can prove such a claim how ?

---

i duuno.. the intake and carbs on my a-12's i am told are the correct factory pieces... whether or not they are the 'original' pieces that the car left with the factory with i dunno... if i advestised the cars for sale as 'all original', i don't think someone could come in and say these carbs (or intake) is not what the cars left the factory with..

its not like a block or trans where there is a vin # stamped... ofourse you can restamp a block/trans ... but this is not a cheby site... restamping does not happen with mopars...

Doooh , Mike beat me to it ...

The Russo and Steele auction has a link for a .pdf of the june 69 Super Stock mag article , one page has a picture of the 6pk engine sans air cleaner , the engine is a 70 ecs or 71 engine , right down to the carb and the valve covers ... interesting , I'll try to put the link here, if it doesn't work go to the auction.


linky

But the current engine compartment shots of the car in the auction show the car was not restored correctly.
Has anyone seen the fendertag to this car ? ( i've been out of the loop for sometime )

If the car had the carbs and air cleaner stolen, how can they be original after the restoration?

---

Well, that's easy, pick one:

- story about the carbs, aircleaner and intake being stolen is untrue

OR

- claim about aforementioned parts being original is untrue.

....take your pick.

my only point (other then the one at the top of my head) is that if the origs were 5-fingered.. and u replaced them with carbs that are 'dated' properly, and a correct intake (which has no date code??), everything matches...

I think you hit the nail on the head! I always wondered how it could go 111 mph? In 1972, mine was slightly modified, ran strong and, with open headers and slicks, would only go 109 mph. It was hard to understand how they could leave a magazine test car in a place where the parts could be stolen in a day and age when that kind of stuff was rampant? I think Ronnie Sox didn't want to be embarrassed with a basic 104 mph car, called his friend John Baughman and John said he would be there to save the day! Even with Ronnie Sox driving, he couldn't get an extra 6 or 7 mph out of a stock A12 with stock exhaust without a major modification! I am certain of
this! I think they got into it big time in the shop and now those fantastic test results are memorialized for all time...which is fine by me because I have one!
