650 or 750 Edelbrock on 340

That's interesting. I was just looking at 3.5 litre BMW coupe from the late 1970's or early 80's yesterday but it was injected.

You wouldn't happen to know if that Solex is a divorced Idle design?

BMW went to injection on those motors (in that body at least) in like 74 or 75(?) and that motor basically remained the same from like 68~80's so it's got several versions of injection that are compatible backward and forward. it's like of like BMW's version of the small block and kind of neat in a lot of ways. the injection systems (there are several) are fairly robust for what they are.

i wouldn't have the slightest idea on that solex. i've only seen and driven one car with it, and my interests were elsewhere when i was checking out the car so i just kind of glazed over it. it would be interesting if it did!

Yeah that manifold was interesting in that it had long runners that were fed from a small open plenum or so it apeared to be.
