Description: Back in the '30s, Phil Weiand didn’t have technology to assist him in finding customers for his performance intake manifolds. He did, however, have a bit of marketing savvy. Late at night, he’d go where the Los Angeles street racers gathered to set up their matches, scout out the losers of those matches, and ask them if they wanted to go faster, promising that his dual-carb manifolds would help them do exactly that. He delivered the goods and the rest is as they say, hot rod history.
Description: C-T Automotive was started in 1951 in Sherman Oaks, California by Don Clark and Clem Tebo (C & T) and followed the old hot rod mantra of “There’s no replacement for displacement.” Their specialty was the manufacturing of stroker kits which increased an engine's displacement by lengthening the stroke of the piston. The journals along the crankshaft are lengthened by a given distance depending on the severity of the stroke enlargement and an increase in the height of the journal makes for double that increase in stroke length. All told, stroked engines can make big power, often without having to machine the block, and C-T Automotive not only knew this, but perfected the formula to get a reliable, high-horsepower stroker that was streetable.
