I've been a Mopar Man for years - owned a 241 cu Hemi Coronet (1953) among
others. Interest in old cars has had me owning, over the years, a '28 chevy
national, '35 chevy master, 37 hudson terraplane, '53 coronet sierra (hemi),
'57 fargo custom express(rarest truck produced by chrysler since the 2nd
war), '63 valiant 170, '49 VW beetle, etc. etc.

Have collected a LOT of info over the years - service data books, catalogs,
etc.

depends on the overall weight of the vehicle. If 100 lbs is .5% of vehicle
weight it makes les difference than if it is 5%.
If 10hp is .5% of power it makes less difference than if it is 5%.
