It wasn't Hilborn, that I would remember. I know it was injected though,
because he had dual quads on to get the beast plated in Michigan (at the
time there was a 500 HP limit on street vehicles, and with the injection
the car was dyno'd and found illegal), and once he had the plates he put
the injection on. I'm guessing he had whatever was used on the early 60's
vettes.
