Hot off the back of Lynton's FB post about Norm's appalling 1971 ATCC, in particular his fuel feed problems at Oran Park, these colour photos lobbed elsewhere on FB.

 

Mick Murnane took them at said OP ATCC round.

 

I thought/recall the 6-litre Chev was fed by four Weber 58DCOs on a crossover manifold but clearly fuel injection was also used/tried that year at least. Mark Oastler's definitive article on the car isn't to hand. did Lou Mallia knock that together in Brunswick or was another artisan involved?

Harrop engineering perhaps ?

Mark, I had this saved in my Beechey file from 3 years ago. Taken at the earlier Calder ATCC round showing a photo of the injection.

AMC #7 has Mark Oastler's feature covering Bowden's restoration of the car. There's reference in the feature to Repco-modified Lucas Injection. But they restored it to 1970 ATCC Championship-winning  configuration, so it's got Weber setup. Even though Bowden's purchased the car with injection still present.
