looks like they took a couple of spark plug leads off for the 'stock' run...

Holy crap! 25hp?!! That is sooo funny...obviously this has to be rear wheel horsepower. Stock A12's were only rated at 69hp... but still it was always enough to bark the tires shifting to 2nd

It'd be easier to just get a bunch of horses and some wheels, and some rope....

Maybe some studded boots, and some Billy Ray Cyrus music...

Ok I've been out on the beers again...

Yes, 25 hp.

Now you know how the old hp ratings were pure fantasy. The 68 hp or 69 hp figure was not the SAE NET rating that we have now, but instead was a "gross" flywheel hp rating.

Compare this with the Wheels magazine Corolla 1200 dyno figures: 26 hp from dynomometer test. After all these upgrades, the Corolla still only increased to 43 hp:
- head ported and polish
- extractor exhaust (tubular headers)
- carburetor adjustments
- open-element air filter
- distributor adjustments
- Fleetwing 100 petrol (high octane gasoline)
- dyno tuning
All this work got it down to 18 seconds in the 1/4 mile ...
