Without the smog pumps, it was everything I expected, and the performance
impressed a lot of muscle car in "unsanctioned events"! I was a happy
camper, finally!
===================================================================================
Actually there was only ONE AIR PUMP [ Air Injection reaction ] that only blew cold air into the exhaust manifolds
You have to change quite a bit more to gain any performance.. manifolds, jetting , timing Curve.
My 47k mile '69 110 had all the above along with 65 heads with the step modified to clear the piston domes [ as told by original owner]
High Rise air filtration system and D&M Big Single with a 3" Flowmaster 50 with one perforated baffle in the exhaust tip.
The car was clocked at 117 mph on certified radar at 5,000 ft elevation on a cool night, and achieved high 20's mpg on highway trips
