Wat, you can buy a carb adapter plate from Speedway, Summit or other supply stores. The plate will fit the earlier, smaller, bolt pattern on the manifold and allow for the install of the later, bigger, bolt pattern carbs. I have one on my hot rod's Dodge hemi engine to mount an Edelbrock.
Okay, cool. Thank you. I did drop a dime yesterday and scored a WCFB for a '53 Packard, so it'll have the electric starter gizmo switch. That is, if his core is good. He has 4 of them and hasn't laid eyes on them in decades, so he's going to check first before he charges me. These old guys are dying off at a rapid rate. This guy has stuff dating back to the teens of last century.
I'll look into an adapter plate. My life may be becoming a series of adapter plates for more things than a few. Ain't nothing wrong with an Edelbrock. My buddy Pete can set one up.
You know, it dawned on me this morning over pouring the first cup of coffee/sanity that after working with Carl last weekend making my winch mounting plate, I'm not afraid of the concept of fabricating metal stuff any more. I rule wood - it's my bitch. So if I toss a few shekels at a plasma cutter and a multi-mode welder, I should be in like Flynn with a bit of practice. And Allah knows I have lotsa shit to practice on.
Now all I'll need is a source of steel cast-offs.
