Don't you know that the fish carb works according to the principles of Turbo-Encabulation? The girdle spring is one of the giveaways, as is the sinusoial depleneration. |

Fish carbs were never marketed by the manufacturer as "100mpg"carbs. I don't know where they got that label, I just wish people would look into there history. They were a real carb and had enough performance to win races! Most of you are aware of another carb using the same basic design, if I were to ridicule that carb I'd probably be blasted from this forum. I expected a little more intalectual honesty here. |

It would be fun to try one if it was designed like drawing and if it would fit on the SL6. |

Ted, they made adaptors to fit the slant six carb base, you would have to make up the linkage though. I have a friend with a bunch ( 4 or 5) of them he bought on e bay, he tried a dual setup on a modified flathead Ford. I don't know what he did but I heard he did not like them and now has a set up with modern Strombergs on it. From what I have read it seem tricky to tune if you don't follow the directions, but what do I know. |

When I was running one, I made my own adapter. I even put a manifold vacuum port in it, Its nit that hard if you can drill tap and grind metal. |
