Default 1965 Engine Code HU

Question, why does engine code HU read "350 hp" and "fuel injection". The chart reads "holley carb". Why do they call it fuel injection? Obviously this is not the coveted 375hp ram jet FI. Thanks.

OK thanks. Looks like just an oversight on the website.

you can add www.idavette.net to the loooong list of websites that are just not quite right. Example is that it states the 64 passenger side air vent was not operational. Well on my 64 it sure blew cool air when I pulled it open.

No big deal as long as we have this place to get the straight scoop
