    Looks like that carb was made to loophole a "single four-barrel carb" rule in SCCA Trans-Am racing at the time:

    indeed it was. but it still works great!

    4 40mm motorcycle carbs flow 667.2 at 1.5 inches vaccum and 943.138 at 3 inches. extremely way too much carb. if you want throttle response you could run dual single barrels from a straight six like a dodge 225, ford 300, or a chevy 292. of course shared plenum and long runner to help torque.

    875 and 943 are way too much carb (although the autolite inline 4 was rated as a 2 bbl, it actually only flowed like a 618.8 cfm. there is a boss 429 version too, and it had larger venturies, dunno the cfm)
