I was selling parts at a swap meet in Indy and a couple of guys came up and started talking about carburetors and I said I had a 40 ford pickup and it had a MANA-A-FRE intake and carbs like the 32 JOHN MILNER'S in the American graffiti movie and the younger one said a what? and I said it had 4 two barrel carbs an he said you mean two four barrels and I said no it has 4 two barrels and he said you mean 3 two's and I said no it had 2 fours and he said they never made any after a while they started to leave and I said wait I have a picture of the engine and the man-a -fre, so I showed them the picture and I asked the young man how many carbs are on the manifold and he said 4 but they never made any??????? I guess a picture is not always right???
