Really late to this party.
I'm not the type who needs his carburetors to be purdy, they just need to work properly.
When I got the urge to modify my M/T Power Ram for 4 2 barrel Holleys, I got some pretty grungy ones that were cheap. I did that because I was really uncertain that set could ever be able to work at all.
One day after reading one of Drew's replies on this forum I sent him a PM and he spelled out a complete list of modifications in his message to make my set up of all 4 carbs working at the same time work well on a street driven vehicle. It was intimidating drilling and tapping metering plates, drilling brass set screws, replacing throttle blades, and so on, but I now have at least a better sense of what the effect of all the circuits are.
Thanks to Drew and his willingness to share information.
I put about 500 miles on my Comet this summer and plan to keep driving it until it gets too cold to go outside (70*F or so).
The looks at car meets are priceless. Most think I'm a masochist/genius. More impressive is the car starts right up, no blubbering or black smoke, and drives normal in traffic. Plugs stay a nice straw color.
Fun! I really can't thank Drew enough!
