Any multi-carb setup is a PITA.
Or, as I think i said earlier, "a bitch." Having only personal experience with a marine setup, albeit on an automotive V8 using Carter 1bbl side-draft units, I can't give a lot of technical detail.
However, I recall, (how I wish i still had the Cars and Parts article)-- it dealt partly with the difficulty of keeping the dual quads properly set up and synchronized on the the milestone Rivieras when they came out with the 64-'65 425 ci "GS" Rivs. It said that a few went on to twist off cranksshafts. Reason being (they suggested) was some very ill-balanced carbs.
Evidently, it takes some expertise to get these right.
Once again, tell me I'm a dreamer if I'm dreamin', but is not there some danger of serious consequences from poorly synchronized multiple carbs?
Maybe you're right, Craig, unless you want the look to be "just so," you can get the job done with one nice big 4-barrel.
Thanks for the pix on your project. Will you keep us posted here or on the Panther site? BTW, was that '63 Tempest one of those that originally featured the rear transaxle? Thank you for rescuing it, if so.
