WL>         I wonder what your point is.  I was replying to a post
WL>saying that Chevrolet 283 engines meant 283 hp and they all had
WL>fuel injection.
JM$.02-worth, but I got the impression that what the original
poster'd meant was the differentiation between the 283 CID
(carbureted) & 283 HP (f/i) versions, since the same # could be
used for each & there might possibly be some confusion involved
due to using the same term while talking about two different
setups. :)
WL>         There may have been an *option* for the 1957 Bel Air
WL>(which would not contradict at all my statement that all the
WL>Chevrolets I had with standard 283s did not have fuel injection).
Exactly, yeah.
