Thread: Single or Dual Carbs?

Tweet

As far as preference mine is usually Tri-Power. I've owned a number of Tri-power and Dual Quad cars over the years, and currently have 2 projects that will both be Tri-Power.

My experience on street motors is that correctly dialed in multiple carbs on a properly designed manifold will perform as well and get as good of gas mileage as a properly matched single carb set up. The key of course is to properly match the setup to the engine.

In most cases dialing the combination in is a lot more involved than having to deal with just one carb and of course there's the added cost of a second carb, linkage, air cleaners and all the other little things, but you can't deny the wow factor
