You said, Enderle, I have a Hilborn.  Don't know if they are comparable. The Hilborn has 4   2.990 throttle plates. Figures to about 28 sq in, about the same as what you had if this is for the Buick.

Temple's "Got'Cha"

This is going off of my memory, but I know the Bug Catcher is a little bigger than a Four port hilborn. As I recall the Bug is 32 square inch of opening.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.
