Barry R. used the carb to dyno my engine. Looks the part but gives you all the gas you need:

Nice. That's a mech secondary carb, right? I will say that the Lemans bowls are cool, but are a bit of a PITA. I think I will probably forgo them this time around.

I'm thinking of going with a Holley HP 850 or 950 carb. They have the classic look, but no air horn. I liked my vacuum secondaries, but they only offer mech secondaries in larger than 750 CFM unless. There is a classic series 850 that has vacuum secondaries, but also has the air horn, which I'd rather lose.

I know that Brent loves the Quickfuels, but I want the old school gold dichromate finish.

Uh, is your carb "buried" in a turkey pan with a Stellings air cleaner? If so, who cares what your carb looks like? Oops, I forgot, you have a CSX with a vintage sideoiler. My bad.
