Chester and his mighty slant six still cracked me up.
Yeah -- directorial license, no doubt. Those California mountains where they shot it aren't that tough on carburetors.
Had a slant six in an old family sedan. I don't think Mopar's six-banger would have been the limiting factor. Roadability, maybe. Now, that would have been more exciting, drifting around corners on iffy tires and trying to keep the ass end from coming out and getting into the gravel. Fun!
