I'll tell you, those three deuces are not all that easy to keep properly tuned and synchronized. Know of any &quot;foolproof&quot; shortcuts or procedures?

Here is the Plymouth. 426/4 speed Sport Fury. originally a 426 street wedge with the Max Wedge stuff added. It does have the correct 3705 carbs and the exhaust with the cut outs.

The Corvette. 300 horse / 4 speed. Original motor and transmission. It isn't a big brake car, I just like the little hub caps

The purists will cringe at this -- but I had a 67' Vette w/3X2 Holleys on a 427 motor. I took the vacuum secondary parts off (I kept them in a safe place) and converted to mechanical/progressive linkage with parts from Mr. Gasket/Weiand including small hiem joints from various aircraft linkages. &quot;Work good--go long way&quot; ... Not sure if there are any &quot;kits&quot; to do this in this day and age. TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Tommy and I might be &quot;Brothers of another Mother&quot;!

I've had several cars very similar to those that you now own--a 62 Vette, Fawn Beige Metallic w/ a Fawn Beige Interior, 327/300; a 66 Satellite w/ a 426 Street Wedge converted to a 2x4 set up, a 63 Ford Galaxie 500 XL(Chestnut Interior and Exterior)running an &quot;R&quot; Code, dual quad, 4-speed center console bucket seat, a 64 Fuelie Vette, Satin Silver w/ a Black interior, a 67 BB Vette, Marina Blue w/ a Black Stinger and Blue interior and a few more.

If anyone wants to see a pic or two, please send me a PM with your direct email address and I'll reply.

Taz, again many thanks for the help, Buddy! The x2's open one at a time depending on the throttle depression and mechanical linkage adjustments--kinda like a 3 stage rocket.

I had mine setup with the center carb as the primary -- secondary linkage opened the end carbs together about 2/3 throttle.
