Only a mechanic that kind of specialized in carbs & tuning would likely have even noticed while looking at one.
A record or two was set like that. :-)

Never head about that! But it sure doesn't surprise me! LOL!


My very, very first race car was a '57 Chev 283-185 hp 150 business coupe and I found that I could use secondary boosters from certain 4GCs that didn't have the inserts and pick up a bunch. I never ran fast enough to be seriously inspected, but I doubt that it would have been caught.
