Carbs, 4 is good, 5 is better.

[Bob Riebe]

4 for power, 1 for cruising.Hort a few years back did a big test on carb. manifolds including a very old, I forget, either six of eight carb. model.It was peaking but actually produced more hp than some the new 4 barrel models.

my father's pile of parts with 6 2 barrels on it. (those old
strombergs if i remember right)
