Re: [FWDLK] dual carb linkage adjustment

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it not possible to adjust the dual carbs' linkage so that the rear 
carb's primaries open first
and, then,  the front carb's primaries open, so that you can get very 
good mileage
by just using the smallest 4-barrels (the two carbs' primaries), before 
the larger secondary
throats, on both carbs, open---either progressively, or simultaneously??
