Default Re: would an A carb on a B manifold have less power than A on A?

The original poster talked about using a Model A manifold that was bored out for a Model B carburetor. In that case I don't see any issues with hooking up the controls. Aside from the dead flow area that Brent talked about, the bored out manifold should allow better breathing and thus performance, especially at higher rpm.
