Default Re: accelerator pump Q..

"The only two barrel carbs I know of without accelerator pumps are the secondary carbs used on factory tri power assembly's. Those factory systems work extremely well but all three carbs are designed for the purpose."


The only factory tri powers that I'm aware of without accel pumps in the end carbs were the 427 Corvette and 440/340 Mopars, and that was because the end carbs were opened with vacuum and not mechanically so they didn't open instantly. Even the original GTO set ups had vacuum controlled end carbs and still had accel pumps.
