Back in 1962 one of my high school friends got his first car- - - -a 1952 Chevy 2 door sedan with a 216 and a 3 speed that his father gave him after the local Ford dealer offered an outrageously low trade in number on the 62 Fairlane with the 221 V8 that he bought. He promptly bought a 3-carb aluminum intake manifold and some adapter plates and fitted the 216 with three (count 'em) Stromberg 97 two barrels and an electric fuel pump! His driveway had a slight uphill grade to the public road, and the car never made it up that incline. It did, however, end up with blistered paint on the hood from the carburetor fires caused by the lean backfires and flooding.
