Help,
I am new to this group. I am trying to get a Howard intake manifold set up on my 302 GMC. This manifold allows the use of 2, 3, or 5 stromberg 97 carburators. My question is has anybody run this manifold with 5 carbs? Do all carbs need a choke and idle circuit? Do the carbs need to be jetted down?
My rough idea is to run with all 5 carbs. I would like to use the #2 and 4 carbs as primary, and the #1, 3, and 5 as secondary. My manifold is water-heated. I realize this may not be the best or easiest performance system out there, but it sure looks cool. It will be complimented by a Fenton exhaust, a hotter cam, hei ignition, and venolia 9 to 1 compression ratio pistons.
