Well, the reason I ask is, GM never made a Rochester injection for
the '09's (or the 348), and a Hilborn injector would be "rare," to say
the least, on the street, especially in '66. (If you've ever driven a
"Leakin' Leana" Hilborn injector-equipped vehicle on the street, you'd
know what I mean .... ) And if he did have a Hilborn setup on that '09,
you'd probably remember the velocity stacks sticking up thru the hood.
So I'd be guessing that he actually had maybe dual quads rather than
injection.

Yeah, we all ran that stuff back then, although my tach was a two-piece
