Installed Uncle Max rebuilds. Engine runs better now. I have two conditions that most BARNERS don't like.

...no pressure regulator
...straight linkage instead of progressive

If the wrong way works why should I worry.

Nice lookin' setup; as long as it runs well, who cares about the number of carbs and type of linkage? Now, what are you going to use for air cleaners?

I have a pressure regulator on my trip 97's and run straight linkage with no problems. Go with what ever works for you.

I ran three 94s with straight linkage, no regulator for several years on my 296 motor......never a bit of trouble.
