Default Re: Baldwin Motion information In my Opinion

With due repect, from your first post:

a)"the three-barrel carbs were replaced with a large four barrel "....."the 950 cfm Daytona 4 Barrel " ????
Now you say 950 3 barrel ....what about the 1050 3 Barrels that were part of his scheme at times, or anything else on his shelves.

b)"exchange cast-iron for alumunium " infers he replaced heads and even blocks as a regular part of the "Phase 111 "packages. Once more it was how deep are your pockets.

c)"cast iron L-72 same as in the Baldwin Motion Cars "....same bare block maybe, but often cam, heads, intake, carbie, ignition, sump, etc etc were changed from that of a L-72.

d)"with this you got a Hone-A-Drive" ....infers once more, it and the M22 were standard to the Package. Truth is Joel gave you what you wanted, manual, auto Hone-O-Drive etc.In this paragraph I am looking really hard for a "could or may ", and as they are not there the inference is that they were standard.

The theme from the post is that there was a "PACKAGE ". In reality I doubt that any two cars were ever the same.

I don't want to go through the rest of it but the above is not in isolation.

Not having a go at you, but you are part of a trend on this site. In the old days people dropped into this site for unusual rare and above all quality information. The site has a very good reputation. People checking this site, will quote what they see here as a source of facts . General discussion is great but info should not just be colorful and informative but should be factual as possible and not open to misinterpretation.

As I said sorry it was you who put it up, but your post was symptamatic of a trend.

I will now withdraw to the heat and wilderness of central Australia to contemplate my fate.

Terry
