dual quad low profile?
I'm sure it could be made to work, I just dislike adapter plates....they smack of cheesiness. I've got the original AVS and TQ's that came with both motors, plus and extra TQ I traded a couple of AFB's for once in a fit of lunacy. Problem with my motor is, it's always had choke issues.......needs one to start, but won't run with it on...even a little. So I've solved the issue in the past by running a Holley w/manual choke. I like Holleys. Especially more than one. You, on the other hand, seem to be not-too-keen on them...any particular reason (other than being overpriced, and susceptible to novice-tinkering problems)? Most of them work fairly well out of the box, but every Rube Goldberg has to mess with them to get them tuned right, after choosing the entirely wrong (read; too big) carb for their setup! And then they compound the issue by throwing on a double pumper that virtually eliminates any chance of the carb compensating for the ineptitude of the builder....but I digress.....back to Carter. You seem to know a lot about them. Your opinion on the Edelbrock Performer? I believe this is a warmed-over AVS, if I'm not mistaken. What do you like about these carbs & why? I still have plenty of time to make the decision on carb & manifold, so I'll take all the input you can throw at me. This is the current setup;
