And the only reason they did it was to make enough cars with three carbs
to qualify to put three carbs on their rally cars.  The rally rules said
you could use any kind of carbs, but could not have MORE carbs than stock.
Once they made enough cars with three carbs each, they put three Webers on
each of the works rally cars.
