The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop How many carburetors??

I've never heard that, at least until now. My suspicion is that it is an old wives tale from the days when understanding airflow through the manifold was not a science but more smoke and mirrors. In that scenario one carb for each set of intake ports probably made sense to some. Todays intakes work a lot better and one 390 CFM 4bbl works really well. 3 & 6 carbs have linkage and firewall clearance problems on a lot of cars & trucks and that is a real good reason to avoid them but the WOW factor is lost too.
