Quadracycle is correct made in 1898.

The Thunderbird Special engine was a 312 cu in engine that sported one of two types of supercharger. Either the Paxton unit was used or the McCullough VS-57 was used. Both fed a Holley downdraft 4 barrel. These are extremely rare cars. The McCullough powered cars, only 197 are recorded as made. Less than 20 of the Paxton units were made to qualify it for use at Daytona.

What is the rarest Ford production truck ever made? Think outside of the box on this one.

No worries

I cheated anyway and googled
(that's why I didn't answer... didn't have any idea off the top of my head)

BlueJay, the Carter AFB series was used on the two four barreled engines. It will fit a 292 or 312 engine in a single installation but isn't correct.
