Going to have to disagree in some areas on this thread. Comparing PROPERLY SELECTED multiple carbs to PROPERLY SELECTED single carbs:

Ease of installation - definate edge to single carb

Cost - definate edge to single carb

Problems (after installation) no difference or a minute edge to single carb

Power - definate edge to multiple carb

Fuel economy - edge to multiple carb

The only way a single carb is going to beat the performance (both power and economy) over multiple carbs (remember - properly selected) is on a single cylinder engine.

The major question becomes: Do you want the look, power, and economy of the multiple unit badly enough to spend the time to do it, or to pay someone else to do it.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
