Just noticed OP is pretty new.
@cause Maybe a harsh response to the new guy. 1st off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Maybe a brief explanation is in order. Pulling fuel & air mix though long runner tubes like that is not desirable. Fuel tends to come out of suspension as it contacts long tube runners. Especially when engine is cold and/or temps outside are cold. Usually engine power is lost with this setup. It does work (meaning the car runs) and was done to lots of cars back in the day - usually due to cost constraints. Lot's of other info on the Web and on this site if you want more details on why progressive carbs aren't in favor. Hopefully you can appreciate the cynical humor. |
