Ari, it is the same height as my M1 single plane.stock port size.heaps of room to my six pack scoop,so much i will use 2 air cleaners stacked-Edelbrock #1235.there are no spacers under the carbs. just finished modifying my fresh air box with a mate. will try to get some better pics later. Dunnuck - i am hoping with 1:1 linkage there should be little problem setting the carbs,i have done a couple so fingers crossed on my car Tex

well just got back from qualifing for the Nitro Championships,long day for 3 runs. Went on the dyno yesterday afternoon. Got to say the results so far have been disappointing.Though i feel there is more to go. On the dyno i ended up with close to 15RWHP down only 391/393.This is with the carbs 1-1 linkage.There was timing and jetting changes. I seem to have a similar issue to what in that i just cannot get enough fuel into the motor,I have 1405 eddy's and the strip kit to suit.i ended up with #18 primary side setting and 2 steps richer on the secondary and still barely got into the high 12's AFR and with a silver step spring it would go low 12's on tip in. the car drove ok but on light throttle had a little surge.this seems to have gone with a blue spring. that's the dyno tell them about the dragstrip son Unfortunately the same result,dropped between 1 and 2 1/10's.Plus a little MPH,could not get into the 119's Most if not all the loss is in the 60'.i normally average 1.54.today i started at 1.572 for a 11.245@118.91,1.651 for a 11.332@118.95,11.628 for a 1111.328@118.91i am fresh out of ideas today and won't have time to swap back on the old manifold. i have to say the car launches really lazy and doesn't even pull the front wheels from looking at the video thoughts appreciated i'll just have to suckup having a slow car this weekend Tex

A member here was putting in 2 needle and seats per carb on those...(Jake68 I believe) to get more fuel

interested to know how even your plugs look on each cylinder. surging is a lean condition. what size engine is this setup on?
Dan at Performance only made me a couple lids that match the barrel sizes of the 650 avs carbs. I use the chokes on the carbs and the car runs every bit as good as my daily driver now. its really amazing. the only thing I did to the carbs was change the pumps in the carbs. I dont have any dyno or track info though to compare it to my six pack setup I had on it.
