Re: 1969 Chevelle COPO 427
Are you talking about the TARANTULA / TORKER series manifolds for the big block chevies. Made for both oval and rectangular port heads in the early 1970's. Carb mount was twisted around to more equalize the length of the intake port runners. Not absolutely sure but I believe this design was tried on another manufactures motor with less success.

Re: 1969 Chevelle COPO 427
Thanks to both replies.
Just hoping all that was not "flashback" of a memory. Strange times back then! |

It did the secondaries just like Holley - the carb looked identical to a regular AFB until you looked down the secondary throat. |

Carter 3636S 950 CFM 3 barrel built specifically for 421SD Pontiac Holley had 3 versions of the 3 barrel. First were for NASCAR Hemi with LeMans bowls like a Ford GT-350 289 715 cfm or a 427 FE 780 cfm single 4. That carb on a cross ram bath tub style mag intake was the only "real" single carb Hemi in 1965. 950 CFM Then came aftermarket 950 4150 cathedral bowl and a year later a 1050 version with big holes in the choke plate.
