Re: [FWDLK] 56 Fury linkage vs 57 Fury Linkage

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is this such a bad thing, for the engine, to have gas be delivered, 
initially, only to the rear
cylinders?  The front cylinders are still getting the oil supplied to them.

The new Hardly Dangerous  motor cycles have a provision where, at 
prolonged stoppages,
the rear cylinder has its fuel supply interrupted, in order to avoid any 
overheating of the engine.

And, we all know about the current V/8-6-4 provisions on modern cars.

So, outside of a racing venue (yeah, like any of us do that, anymore), 
what difference/effect would
there be, using the 56 aluminum intake,  with a progressive linkage 
employed, with 57+ m.y. carbs,
wherein the front carb begins to supply gas when the rear carb's 
primaries open to about 30%?

BTW, I've got an old (what other kinds are there?) issue of Hot Rod, 
where it shows you how to
adjust your 57+ linages so that all 8 barrels operate in the manner of 
the 55-56 versions.
