<VV> Carb mixes

[Grant Young]

I guess I missed the original question (I tend to delete a lot of digests when things go off topic for a while), but can offer some opinions based on what the question might be: One can use any top on any carb bowl (I have seen it all). The problem you might face is that H carbs from 60 and 61 do not have the port in the bowl casting for the automatic choke pulloff vacuum line connection, While the '61 tops can be modified to take an automatic choke hookup, it isn't worth it, given the cheap and easy availability (from me) of correct tops. Later tops (62+) cannot easily be modified to work on the early carbs, however. So, if you have later bowls, but a 1961 engine and carb tops, no problem. Just swap, plug the lower vacuum ports, and go.
Hope this helps, but whomever had the original question can simply send me a note for more details or explanation.

Grant, any ideas here?
