Default 4 carb intake

Wonder if this one is twice as good as the one for sale in the swap section?

Looks like it'll flow like a bastard.

I just ordered one. I hope there is enough room for the four 4 barrel adapters I want to bolt on

If you put another “Y” you could have eight, right?.....Mark

Finally a true speed secret revealed much better than the other one. Very cold carbies no heat from the crossover will make so much HP the transmission gears will not be happy. LOL

This could be the subject of a new Geico "I got more" commercial. First it was the western silver belt buckle, then it was (is) Christmas lights, and now a '39 Ford coupe, sans the hood, and carburetors eventually extending out over the fenders on both sides!!!

We had an original Almqiust “Y” adapter fro 2 2s , removed it one day and there was definite pooling of fuel from even this setup.
So with 4 into one you will be able to swim in the fuel pools.
It will run like crap, but will sure impress the locals, fu wee its got 4 carbs.....

I guess it's got the look thing going for it. Sure isn't going to flow that much more air, or increase the performance as much as it looks.

It'd work best on that V14 you had pictured a while back!

Dunno. But an economy model might be in development that offers better performance and looks with fewer complications. 8^) Jack E/NJ

Kind of like a high flow toilet sitting on a 2" sewer pipe.
