Oh, I was thinking that his fag ash was about to fall and maybe blow into one of the carbs
What's for? I though it was the kind of thing you'd want to remove in a racecar carb.carbs have 2 choke horns, 2nd one cut from other carb held on w/ little plates and 4 screws
Choke horn...that's it.

Gene, a "fag" is/was a nickname years ago for a cigarette (before the term became used for guys who play for "the other team").

I think it flows better...I read a comparison once and cutting off the horn f'd things up. Something to do with flow vilocity. TT what do you say?

That's what jumped at me.
OK, here's the caption,
"Biil Jenkins used to use Cecil County as his home test track. I was there when Bill came down from Pennsylvania all by himself. He had his car on a truck, He took out these four big, brand-new Holley carburetors and clamped them into a vise that he had mounted on the bed of his truck. He then took a hack saw and sawed each carburetor in half by hand. He explained that Holley didn't build a caburetor that suited his needs, so he decided to just make one using the primary halves of two Holley carburetors. So he took rivets and epoxy and put the primary halves together, basically making his own carburetors there at the track. Then he bolted them on a dual four-barrel manifold and took the car onto the track. I don't remember the exact times but I do remember he was running a lot quicker than anyone at Cecil County."
Gotta love it.:smash:
Now THAT is hacking, literally :amazed:OK, here's the caption,
