I think that these carbs all came "4 bolt", don't use the early "3 bolt", unless you got a lot of nice ones kicking around, they're kinda small. Carters are fool proof, close the hood and forget 'em. Don't waste time on the other period carbs. Make up a spacer 3 to 4 bolt adaptor and you are good to go. It sounds like you don't have the matching dual exhaust that comes with the intake, unfortunate. Don't bother to poke holes in the single exhaust manifold to get extra pipes on it. The thing is hopeless. Period. The best solution is to fab up a header. Not easy. Dual shorties, more or less copying the factory duals, could be a very realistic alternative. No heat to the manifold could make the engine not a lot of fun to live with untill warmed up. If you live in a warm climate, well, no problem! alleycat
