I see the Sixpack set-up that came on some Chryslers (I have one on one of my
Jensens - 1200 cfm) buggered about all the time by people without a clue. The
ONLY way they will work is with vacuum actuation, but these idiots convert
them to mechanical so when they put their foot to the floor, the carbs open all
the way and the engine goes 'Whaugh..." wondering what hit it - can you say
"flat spot the size of Antarctica"?
Takes all kinds!

started honking - and I don't have a wiring diagram, and the damned Italians
seem to have got a great deal on a job lot of black wire, and.........)
