But I do have a question? I'm not much of a carb tuner, so hope this isn't a stupid question. Do you need to set up the rear carb different from the front carb because it sits higher on the intake? Or do you get a enough crossover or fuel mixing from the two carbs in the plenum area that is doesn't matter? Thanks
If you look at the Plenum (with the top) removed you will see you have a LARGE VOLUME, much larger than the Doug Nash Dual Quad Intake or the OFFY dual quad manifolds. The fuel/air mixture travels downward.

It is un like later EFI intakes, that have a single throttle body on the front of the intake that can cause air distribution issues with those intakes.

At one time Joe Zajac, Larry Kauffman, and I added short stub stacks under the carb gasket to see if the carbs needed more signal strength. IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE in the performance of the intake on the quarter mile runs so the STUB STACKS were not used. This was using the 3rd Generation Randy Williams "V" intakes.
