Vintage Cars: 1962 Pontiac Catalina Super Duty 389, 1962 pontiac catalina, pontiac catalina

Question
Torque rating = ?

Answer
There were three versions of the 389 SD offered that year.  The torque was either 425 lbs/ft @ 2800 rpm with one of the 4-barrel carbs (different horsepower rating between the two due to different compression ratios), or 430 @ 3200 with the three 2-barrels.  Either way, it was no slouch!
