Thanks to everyone so far on my dual carb question.
Dave, you're
the first to mention the linkage for 55 or 56 Mopar duals
has no
slot. My engine is a '57 318. The rod that has no slots
looks like
an original piece, not a homemade set up, so this may be
the correct
linkage for a earlier dual carb set up. I will get it
right I'm
sure. Thanks again to everyone. All the info is very
helpful. Nick.
