  1. The straight-6 seems to have lost out to the V layout, V8 in particular, in America. A friend bought a '70 Dodge with a IL6. It was slow, being the base "economy" engine, and had a tiny 1 venturi carburetor. But it sucked, because it got the same gas mileage as the V8 69 Mustang I had that could go 50 mph in first gear.
