Carb question

Hi Guys, My question is can I run 1 carb on my 2 carb std. manifold? I want to test a few 97’s and a few 94’s. and plan to block off the front carb. Will it work?
Regards,Don.
 
First question : is the manifold a regular or a "Super" (one carb over each set of ports)? Probably won't work too well with a "Super" but there are some manifolds I have seen where it might work. The ones I am thinking of have the carbs biased towards the rear of the manifold, so you would be better off blocking off the back carb,
 
Hi Tubman, I have a regular manifold and I just blocked off the rear carb. The front carb is right where a stock manifold is. Will try it tomorrow.
Regards, Don
 
That will probably work. Let us know how it turns out. I believe that you can run progressive linkage on those types of manifolds with dual carbs.
 
I've done this with many different intakes. AS long as there is a balance tube between the carbs, not a problem. The probably might arise when making WOT Power.
 
I think Ol' Ron means as long as the air path for both carbs are internally connected in the manifold runners, there is no problem.

Cranked it up today and ran fine. Will have to test on the road for power and smooth transition when pulling a load. It idles just fine and seems to have good throttle response.
