Xander Wildeisen Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Trying to figure out how my 52 hornet left the factory. I know originally it was a 308, with a three speed manual non overdrive transmission. I was wondering if the emblem on the inside of the door would tell you if it originally had twin H on it? As I remember 145 is the HP of the single carb 308. And having duel carbs bumped it up to around 160-165. Would a twin H car still have the 145 emblem on the door when new? If it was factory equipped with duel carbs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 What cars would get the emblems that have the “H” with Hornet written inside of the “H”? Why would there be two different emblems for this location? Or are they a different year of production thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
