Has anyone tried one of those famous Fish carbs on a inline 6? Does one flow enough for a warmed up 261 or do I need a dual setup?

Thanks, Frank

One generally buys a Fish carburetor for one of the following reasons:

1) You are restoring a documented NASCAR Hudson from the early 1950's for display in a museum.

2) You own a restarant in NASCAR country and wish to cover the walls with early NASCAR memorabilia.

3) You own a carburetor museum, and wish to display one of each brand of carburetor.

4) You are writing an article on aftermarket carburetors, and wish to take a picture for the article.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air

Tiny - use your favorite search engine and search for carburetor "John Robert Fish".

And if you are a believer, I know where there are some fish.
