Redemption

Sometime one’s buddies are not completely insane, they’re just a little off in the details. Try to follow along here.

OK, as far as it goes…

wrong 8 barrel

This is part of a six pack. – 8 barrel.

But I digress.

Oh come on. You were so close!

According to Chrysler, ca. 1968-1970 this would be a real “eight barrel.” (If they remembered the labels.)

What have we learned? Thirty years of relentless picking on 8 is all Chrysler’s fault for rampant inconsistency in engine stickers.

Plus the fact that 8 Barrel’s Monaco had “only” a 4 barrel, when he wished it was an actual 8 barrel.

8 is not not the first male to, uh, make a measurement error. Of 100%. Especially the one where you call a “4” an “8.” But I don’t want to talk about that chick who didn’t know whether to laugh or scream. Just know she’s off my speed dial after she told all her friends about it.)
