coool pic... color in 1963 !!!

Interesting that it says no smoking inside dyno room...wonder if smoking as allowed outside of dyno room ...signs of the times...

Great vintage picture. I am sure Duntov had some of his experimental engines on this dyno. Engines that never made production, i have pictures of those beasts. Chevy Hemi engine Duntov designed and tested.

That big ol' lever to the operator's left...does that mean the engine is at full throttle?
