<VV> Turbo Carb

[Secular]

  Hi Dave:

  Page 86 & 87 of Bob Helt's book "The Classic Corvair - 8th edition" has 
  the basic specs of the YH. 

  You may also wish to take a look at this mod:

  which is fairly easy to perform...

  Also, here's an interesting picture of a late-fifties drag car with a few YH carbs :)
