Hey terry thanks for the info
i have a line on an intake of a 76 with dual SUs but
and the linkages but the carbs are corroded up so the
suction chamber stuff doesnt move in em (not the
HIF-4). But im not sure if the bore of the intake is
big enough for the HIF4 no idea whats on em now but
theyre in a junk yard here in Pikeville on a 76 spit
with the engine no tranny though but it was an OD
tranny :( cuz it still has the mount in it, oh well i
talk too much
