Shouldn't be, but 2bl guys around here were doing that in the '70s. Seemed to go through tech OK. Pretty dramatic improvement in air flow and track times. I couldn't believe they were getting away with it.

Seems like I remember from the old days that a 2 Brl.Brl. Flow Bench was at a higher level of vac. than a 4 Brl. Does anyone remember the difference? Would 400 CFM on 2 Brl. bench be about 300 CFM on a 4 Brl Bence setting?

No . Ray Litty built the car in the 70's with a 350/250 2 bbl PG and a tune up from W A Lee.
Frank bought the car from a guy in So. Windsor, Ct. I'm pretty sure he then put the 4 bbl on it in the late 80's. Might have gotten it from Eddie Bednaz, although I know I worked on the carb too.

Mark, Andy had just put the Q-Jet on it before he passed.
