john is correct. fit a pair of su's and be done if you look at the
air/fuel path, you enter from the top, pass throught he carb and hit the
bottom of the manifold. then a 90 degree turn in each direction to go
fore/aft. then another 90 degree bend to dt tot he engine. by now the
air/fuel mixture has forgotten its purpose. bolt on a set of hs6 su's.
