Just jets and spacing are different between series. The rear one has a 1" damper under it for cold starts. Any carb will sit high. The stock air cleaner adds only another 2". Don
Can anyone tell me what carbs were used on the dual carb manifolds? Has anyone adapted anything and if so what results? Suggestions?
Am also considering 4 SU's..any advice pro or con on that or what might be a good 4 carb set up where I don't have a whole lot of overhead space (low hood line)?
Thanks for any help.
Bill

The reference list is missing the Carter carbs for 41 - 42. Both years are from Buick shop manuals.

I like the balanced opening of the back carb with the front one. How did you jet the back one?
