Having picked up the carbs years ago, finally found a manifold to work with, an old weind C536, carbs are 1959 caddy, with correct outboard carbs, but they are 1 11/16 bore vs the manifold 13/16 I think...started making some adapter plates, question is will the reduction in manifold hurt performance or create a ram effect in the manifold..? Actully picked the carbs up at a flea market, the guy selling them wanted 10 dollars with manifold and linkage, ( I started shaking in my shoes I think ):whacked: I told him 5 dollars we settled on 7...killer deal.
He did`nt know what he had.

5 bucks!!!, Gees, worth more in weight for scrap! Nice going!!
I'm assuming your manifold is 1 13/16" and not 13/16"? I wouldn't think your going to loose a lot of power with this setup.
