Re: Switching to two carbs
Reading through the original posting of this topic by 37 truck and the various responses I find it interesting that nobody questioned what the purpose of the dual carp setup was.
From my point of view, it is apparent that "37 truck" is a novice to the vintage car game, adding dual carbs to a stock engine will accomplish very little in the way of performance.
Brings to mind my first attempt to improve the performance on my first car, a '38 Chevy, I was 15 and wanted dual exhausts like the big boys had.
Being pretty handy with my hands I fabricated a "Y" adapter out of flex pipe, attached the Y to the stock exhaust pipe behind the muffler, ran two pipes to the rear of the car, attached chrome tips, I was styling.
My father came out to the driveway to see what I was up to with the car jacked up. I told him, he thought I was nuts, telling me that my "dual exhaust" was not going to accomplish anything, just waste money and time.
Of course we got into a big discussion about the pro's con's of dual exhaust.. As usual he was right, I was wrong..
