Did they make different styles? I found a completed sale one on E-bay and it is slightly different from the one I have. This picture is the e-bay one.

As was typical, the second carb on the dual manifolds only fed the third port. Ted(03-06-2017, 09:23 PM)Bob Alexander Wrote: Did they make different styles?
