What size carbs came on a '56 chevy panel wagon ???
The engine that had (2) 4 barrel's on it.

Thanks

Yes. The Yoo Hoo Too 56 Wagon ran that combo back in the 60's...
Wayne Jesel drove it.

My 56 runs 2 WCFB Carters @ 350 CFM ea
Single 4 is 375 I believe

Yep! I had one in the late '60s. My first race-only car. Lots of screws to change Jets. LOL

Say, Ed, since you go waaay back, I wondered if you tried or had an opinion on:

At Topeka, when Grumpy Jenkins was involved with Pro Stk Trucks, he took an interest in the Nomad, and eventually built the tunnel ram we use; a few years later, again at Topeka, he came by our pits while my late partner, Ron was resetting the float levels....he grabbed a float and took a marker and said why don't you cut these down so bowl holds more.....as he got on his scooter, he said..."might work, might not"

Never tried it, did you

Kinda funny the way he said it
