Mike thanks for the info. I've read several of your old posts in history about converting old carbs into 3x2 set ups and appreciate your input to CHR. Maybe you could answer a couple of multi carb questions for me.

CARB FINISH....Have you ever tried to refinish (chromate) any of your Rochester carbs, and if so what was the out come? Do you have a reference for this? Not sure I want to powdercoat them, but they all need to have a uniform finish and color. Does Eastwood have anything that looks good and also holds up well?

MANIFOLD FINISH.....Have you tried to have an aluminum intake manifold powdercoated chrome, if so how did it hold up near the heat ports? Should it be polished first?

MANIFOLD BRANDS.......Do you have any preference between the Edelbrock or Offy retro 3x2 manifolds? This would be for a 350 SB Chevy engine.

I've enjoyed the Vintage Speed site, but really want to build my own set.
