Jay: I realize that the tests on multiple carb intakes was done at higher flow rates but wonder how the linkage acted. Most of the RPM was probably above where the 2nd carb kicked in.
Did you use positive or progressive linkage? The book doesn't state. The cross rams almost have to be positive.
My question comes from the fact that I'm working on linkage for my 6X2 intake and would like to go with progressive. It would really be difficult to balance 6 carbs even though there are balance runners in the plenum.
The Edelbrock 3X2 I have uses 3 Stromberg WW's with positive linkage with ball bearing ends on the shafts. I'll probably never use it but it looks somewhat impressive on the shelf.

Here is a table of CFM rates I posted here a year or so ago.
The Holley 2100 from my understanding is close to the ECG So flow ratings are as follows

Carb Model    CFM@3.0"  CFM@1.5"

94                   251            176
81                   192            135
48                   250            175
LZ                   229            160
ECG                264             185

Strom 97         214             150
Strom WW       357             250   not sure of which venturi size 2 variations one @ 1.125 and another @ 1.1875

Hope I've got most listed  rate them as cast and maybe best to port.
Jay B delete this if you think not necessary but:  Joe Crain or a few others may have some input as to experience. Barry R?? or yourself??

Not looking to see LR-MR-HR-Tunnel port heads but those found on regular cars & trucks--- Maybe also rate some of the LR heads for me as well
Lets use a 1 to 5 rating--- 5 being the best performance for mid range torque and HP at 5000 rpm

Other stockers I've missed?

Talked to him again tonight at the Christmas light show ( 400,000) lights so maybe 1000 strings and over 100 lighted displays. All in a 5 acre garden flower park
Quite a show for a town of 6000 residents.

The Mustang is a 1970 Mach 1, 351 Cleveland, 4bbl with a C6 trans. Originally teal blue with a black interior.
Cowl vents leaked when under trees and humid/rain for 5 years and the floors-sub rails-rear deck area are  really rusted thru.
Seats/interior are toast but the engine and trans were a rebuild. I'll get some pictures and a full vin in a couple of weeks so will be able to ID the rest of the car.

Part of your question was a full sump pan. Not to many cars this would fit into.
This is from a large truck FE. My plan is to use it in a car with a dropped I-beam axle no cross member in the way, the engine has a pretty good setback.

Some FE members are ahead of the pack,  or as my wife says "the m  asses"
Not hard for me to believe he might have picked up 10 or more.

Here are a few pictures of the 1958 Edsel manifold

TomP if you note the temp sender is in the WP bypass tube.
