<x-charset iso-8859-1>The force flows strongly in you Neal... :) You car came with a single port dual carb 1500. In 65 the domed pistons only remained in the German sold cars, perhaps a couple other markets. The compression in a good domie engine will be around 140-145 PSI, and unless your religous about using nothing but the best 94 octane or higher I wouldnt reccomend the domies.. the were famous for gettin holes burned in them from cheap gas. Keith PS..
