six pack vs 6 barrel

“You see, they have the Big Mac, we have the Big Mic, they have the Golden Arches, we have the Golden Arcs, we both have 2 all beef Pattie’s, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but they use a sesame see bun, our bun has no seeds”!
 
:icon_thumleft: You got it! Lot's of strictly Dodge or Plymouth terms that are basically the same thing. That's one of them.
Incorrect assumption....six pack was strictly Dodge while Six barrel was strictly Plymouth....it's only because of: laziness or possibly ineptitude of some people that the terms became interchangeable but to the purest (me) they are separate entities. Sort of like saying all GM cars are Chevies or Corvettes or Cadillacs or Buicks....similar but different.....

Cool replies guys!

Yes we all say sixpack (to go) but six-barrel sounds way COOLER to me...

There are more Dodges and very few Plymouths left due to rust issues?
Especially Canadian 'built and driven' 71 GTX's like mine.
On the road for ten years then off, for rust repairs.
Then back on the road (for a while) and then off for another 25 years with err more 'rust issues'...

Then the Six barrel seizes up through 'lack of use' and its back to Holley for some new (old) ones.

How many Plymouth Superbird six-barrels were built?
How many Dodge Daytona's were sixpacks???

Too many questions and not enough straight answers... :mob:

Don't drive your Mopar in the SNOW with or without a six butterflies...

When I put my "personalized" license plate together for my 6BBL Roadrunner, I had past experience with "the public" not getting the message. Sure, if I had "6BBL440" there would be many who "get it" but it just doesn't have the same "ring" as "6PAK440" and the reason for that order of letters and numbers?
I know for a fact that "4406PAK" would be read "four thousand four hundred and six pak" by some idiots who may ask what that means, and I don't have the patience I used to.

On tags, my wife had KILLDEE on her tag (grandmothers nickname, a small ground bird) they would ask “what’s a Dee and why do you want to kill it” hundreds of times lol. I have CEEDAWG on my truck and guys ask if I was in the navy. I look at them as good conversation starters
 
The only personalized plates I've ever had came on a car I bought. They didn't last long. The car got registered in a different state

According to info I found, approximately 1/3 of 70 superbird production (roughly 1900 cars) got the six barrel motor, about 1/10 got a hemi.
Out of 503 69 Daytonas, 70 got a hemi, the rest 440 four barrels.
