I have a Holley ECG6 carburetor that I would like to use as the primary carburetor on a two deuce set up on a 59A. I bought the extended throttle shaft and the base on the ECG is wider than the earlier 94 type carburetors and the shaft is not long enough to allow me to attach the throttle linkage. Can I use the base from an earlier carburetor (say an EBU or 7RT) to get my throttle shaft to work? The throttle plates on the ECG are larger than in the earlier carb bases. Will this affect the performance of the carburetor? Had planned to disable the idle circuit and block off the power valve on the secondary (EBU) carburetor and use it as a "manual dumper". Thanks for any help.
