<VV> Stinger Carbs?

[BBRT]

Grant, The original 100 Yenko Stingers all were Corsas w/ factory 140s.  I 
am pretty sure the next factory Yenko Stingers were '67 Monzas with 140s 
COPO-ordered package.  We can be reasonably assured the 1966 Stage I and II 
YS were factory set-up carbs; i.e. secondary carbs (not primaries). 
Similarly, for the '67s.  There is no mention in the literature of primary 
carbs being substituted for secondary carbs from the Yenko shop.  I can 
think of no reason why he would.

The Stage IV engines with the large bore carbs would not idle below 2000 rpm 
according to literature. What could the purpose of a primary carb in place 
of a secondary be for?  Since the idle circuits are difficult to machine in 
a bored out carb, and were probably not done at all by Yenko-for that racing 
application.

This is to say that there may been anomalies; a four-primary carb set up 
from the factory if secondary carbs were unavailable in '67 -which is hard 
to believe, as the secondary carbs were over-the counter items at that 
time..

Words from original owners would be helpful.
