Well I got the howard intake installed on my street coupe. It runs REALLY well compared to the dual carb edmunds with two AA-2 Carbs. This should dip me into the twelves now. This equates to about 1050 CFM worth of carberation. Plus I like the retro factor of it. Dont mind the dirty engine, and paint flaky headers. One of these days Ill get them coated.

thats the set up they used on the lakes running alcohol. Jet it for alcohol and see what it does!

Hi, realy looks great! must be a mess to tune-up no?!
'Synchro'nisation I'm thinking about....
Or it has a linkage (palonier in french) as on motorbike multi carb ?
About your older headers paint it just lets us see that this engine/car is not a saloon one, nice !

Looks really good. Is that manifold cast in one piece or are the runners bolted on I can't quite tell by the pictures.

Yes, it shouldn't be much problem to build. there is a couiple of pictures in the "Stuff" section of the site.

Yes, its not hard to build, BUT I like the retro factor involved. Although we have cast some GMC howard 5 carb intakes, so it would be too hard to do the buick.
It sure looks ballsy, but I wonder if you can get it to idle? All carbs are feeding a common plenum, so I wouldn't mind about synchronization, but how do you set the idle? Do you just plug the idle circuits of most carbs, and let just a couple of them handle the idling?
