Without seeing the numbers on the carbs, I call them Ford carbs because that is the configuration that Ford ran in STOCK 3x2 form - fuel inlets on the linkage side, mechanical linkage, and accel pumps in ind carbs. Mopar carbs in STOCK form had vacuum pods (and no accel pumps)on the end carbs, and the fuel inlets on the pod sides. I guess I should have known to say Ford TYPE or Mopar TYPE to eliminate the nit-picking and hair spliting.




Yah, well....they're Holley carbs, and Ford is a four-letter-word around these parts. Besides, it's those Chevy carbs that had the vacuum pods and such on them. Mechanical's rule...vacuum sucks!!!




You CAN'T be saying that Mopars didn't run vacuum operated end carbs




You are correct. I was mocking the reference to the mechanical carbs being referred to as Ford carbs, by referring to the vacuum carbs as Chevy carbs; all while attempting to point out that they are all just Holley carbs. Referencing either kind as one brand or another is ....folly, cuz they're all simply Holley.




You musta skipped over this part out of a post several posts ago - I guess I should have known to say Ford TYPE or Mopar TYPE to eliminate the NITPICKING and HAIR SPLITTING. I never said they weren't Holley BRAND, I was only referring the kinds of cars the different TYPES were usually associated to.
