Default Model T manifold with Model A carb

Have any of you seen this type of set up.
Not a professional job, but I wonder how good it might run.
Regards, Neil

With that long drop leg on the intake, so the big Model A carb clears the frame rail, at least the gas flow to the bowl would be good

I use a 26-27 vaporizer intake upside down with a home made connection to the Tillotson X carb. Runs perfect!

I saw a similar A carb setup once but it was made from plumbing fittings. One of the best running T's I ever saw had a homemade intake and a big old carb that had come off a big 2 cylinder combine engine. Wisconsin I think.
