Default New Stuff

A friend of my brother had no use for this setup so he gave it to him. My brother sent it on to me.

I don't know if I will use it or not, the 48 runs well now so I'm not sure if I should mess with it or not. I have seen on here that dual carbs will decrease vacuum for wipers and distributor. Also looks like the generator would have to move.

What do you more experienced barners say?

From my experience you'd be better off selling it. If you want the added help of a 4 barrel just swap to a new 4 barrel intake and modern 4 barrel carburetor. These split dual carb intakes have a nice nostalgic "cool" factor but are a pain in the butt in my opinion.

Very cool for garage art as is. If you want to run it you will probably have to deal with generator fitment along with carb, linkage and gas line plumbing issues.

That was one of the best racing intake of a by gone era. Exelent street carb, with the proper tuning. Yes an offset generator bracket was required
