As John V. points out you can't always trust the press/advertising people.

But notice that the tube is on the center carb not the rear as per the post from Tom Vaught. Maybe the factory learned their lesson after these pictures were taken and they had stuffed a test car against a track retaining wall.
I saw the picture on the left in 1965 and swapped my Tube and Plunger linkage around. THEN the Plunger came out of the Tube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not Good.
