Compare this photo to "Winning in the Rain." Its the exact same spot in the exact same corner, but this time the car is hooking up in dry, sunny weather with a new, tuned suspension. The front right tire lifts off the ground as we head uphill onto the 100 mph Cimmaron Straight. We had tuned the car all day, even discarding our chance at the pole in order to get more practice time. It worked. We still qualified fifth and won the race, both in class and overall.

Well I decided to go for it -
Went with 42's and a TWM manifold. Still lots to sort out, but Ill start another thread on it somewhere and link it back here. Rought calculations hopefully put it in between an OER setup and a Mikuni PHH setup $wise.

I would probably do them in pairs, then each pair goes to a common shaft.

Part of running a single shared throttle shaft was for a super clean look- like how datsun_tokyo linked above has it.
I also still haven’t decided on the manifold- but was planning on the TWM one- seems to be the cleanest and allows me to run without all the linkages.
With that said I’m interested- I’ll shoot you PM.

I have common under mount bar mount I could sell you, with either teflon or brass bushings. You would need arms, but it would be the best for actually balancing them. Just a thought.
