RE: [Chrysler300] 300C Dual Quads

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Carbs are sized for airflow so the engine would be starved at high RPM.
Given that there are equalizer chambers or tubes between the carbs, the
fuel-air mix could physically get to the right cylinders.  As ram manifolds
are carefully tuned for proper operation, operating a dual quad carb
manifold car on one carb could not be expected to perform as smoothly at
idle or anywhere else.  My '55 carbs are hard linked together.  Later Hemi's
had progressive linkage so they did operate on a single carb until the
second carb was called for by accelerator pedal position and/or air flow.  I
think both carbs in a progressive system provided fuel-air mix at and near
idle, however.  My '55 has chokes on both carbs (and they are
manual-installed by a previous owner).  You would be short one carburetor
accelerator pump, also-making starting and accelerating substandard.

In the interest of problem solving, is it possible to run a dual quad car 
exclusively on the rear carb, and effectively 'shutting off' the front carb 
? If so, how would you go about that ? I'm assuming that the rear carb is 
the one with the choke, BTW.

Note: This is not related to an actual problem. I just need this info so I 
can store it away for future use.
