Post Inline Carbs
It is my understanding that the Trans Am rules at the time (1970)allowed 2 4bbl carburetors on the high winding smallblocks. Webers were not permitted (4x2bbl). The inline carbs were Fords way of circumventing the intended application or standardization of using 2 Holleys, and gaining the benefits of one venturi in close proximety to each intake port. Just a liberal application of the rule book. There were manifolds for 1 or 2 of these oddball carbs to fit the Boss 302. Their availability and use was short lived.
