    That A/A coupe has an interesting fuel injection system.
    Can anyone identify its maker?

    Also, a very early example of narrowing the track width.
    That car speaks to me.

    That injector is known as the Enderle barn door. The throttle plates were sized the same as the 6-71 inlets.

    My old friends John Anderson, Chet Thomas, and Jim Barnard ran this Willys with Barn Door on Fuel. As a rule, Enderle Injectors, tend to be more suited for Alcohol and Nitro, instead of gasoline. The car went in the 7's @190, in 1969. A-7.jpg A-9.jpg

    Langhorne Speedway ( Pa ) had a dragstrip in the middle of the dirt-track oval. Here's a vid. The Hot Rod Club referred to in this ''flick":eek: were the Charioteers from Trenton, NJ
