Car & Driver 1977 misinformed?

[edit]

This article quotes a 1977 issue of Car & Driver in which the reviewer says the newest Astre has the same engine as the Chevy II

Chevrolet 153 4-cylinder engine

But it seems clear that the Astre really had this engine:

Iron Duke engine

The article on the 153 engine even states that these two engines (of similar size and similar applications) are often confused for each other, but are different designs that do not share any parts.

I don't know the proper way to clarify the information in the article while keeping the valuable quotation intact. TooManyFingers (talk) 15:21, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
