Today I am going to talk a little bit about magazine articles, and a couple of comments about the people who write the articles.
Anyone can write an article or a post but you really want to pay attention to the actual information inside the articles.
I found two decent articles (as an example) about a Holley Tri-Power System (offered for the SB Chebby engines).
Each writer took a different approach on how he wrote the article.
One article used a dyno test and the second article provided information. So you would might assume that the Dyno Article was
a better article. I will provide the links to the articles and let you read them vs go over every picture etc.
Magazine Dyno Tri-Power Article:

Web Tri-Power Article:

(There are 4 parts and 4 links easy to use).
So the assignment for the day:
1) Two Articles by different writers on the same basic subject.
2) Both writers took pictures of the parts.
In the 1st article the carbs were the basic shiny silver Holley stuff from Summit/Holley.
In the second article the carbs had the Dichromate finish.
In both cases, some basic carb math was done to come up with a cfm for the 3 carbs.
So read thru both articles and judge who you think you should pay attention to when discussing carb information. Enjoy.
I will add my comments later
