Hello folks -
I've owned dozens of classic cars over the decades, but never a Chrysler, or any Mopar of any flavor. Its a long story as to why, but I am considering a 1961 Newport, and it has a 1962 413 engine with cross-ram intake, dual carburetors...and....I have no idea what I'm even looking at, except the it looks kinda cool ;-). I have a few questions, and hop you can educate me:
1) Someone has suggested to me that this engine, with 10:1 compression, will not run well on pump gas...
