I'm no expert and in fact had a mechanic do the final adjustments, but here
is what I have and learned while doing my dual rochesters off an offey intake
on my '54 235. You have to downgrade your carbs to carbs from a 216 which
have a slightly smaller bore and throttle body. Similarly, measure with
a string, the actual route that the fuel line will follow and T it off at
exactly the midpoint between the line that will go to the two carbs. If
you like, I can take a picture for you to show you this last part. Mine
worked great right from the start using these methods.
