<VV> Single Carburetor

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Well, going away from stock is fine, you just need to figure out the right direction!

If you're trying to make more power, a pair of bored HVs is a way to go. Or, rework the manifold on the head to take something like a Weber 32/36DGV on each side. Or, go to 4-1bbls with 140 heads, that's always a crowd pleaser!

In "Corvair Basics" it is recommended that one never change out the stock  
carburetor arrangement for a 2 or 4 barrel system replacement unless one,  
"thrives on challenges" because many there will be.

In that  case the fix is to go back to stock because it works  better.
