<VV> Running 140 with One Carb per Side

[N. Joseph Potts]

140hp engines run well with just their primary carburetors (Rochester HV),
but obviously, they don't make as much power as they do with a properly
functioning, properly adjusted secondary (Rochester H) working in addition
to the primaries. This modification should NOT be expected to improve
performance, except in respect to fuel economy. It MIGHT also improve
reliability.
     What exactly is your purpose in making this modification? Are you
trying to consume minimal fuel, make the fastest time, or merely improve
your chances of finishing the race (not breaking down)?
