6 Pack vs. 650 4BBL?

I like mechanical carbs as much as the next guy but, this BS about vacuum carbs not working is unreal. So is some of the other nonsense in this thread. The idea is to build combos and parts that work together. I remember now why I avoid these kind of threads.

Yeah, Larry Shepard recommends the VS with an auto and the DP with a manual. While these rules are only meant as a guide, they work pretty well, even today. I would challenge anyone here to have the knowledge Shepard does, even though a lot of what is written in the engine book is dated, it is not incorrect.
