If I remember correctly it was a 58 Buick we were using as a bench.

I'm beginning to understand the one carb after seeing the two hogs in the background. I doubt any performance gain, perhaps less. WTF, it's only a 440.
Be interested in seeing how it turns out.

The stock carbs on the bike refuse to work without the stock airbox, which is missing and damn near impossible to find.

Yeah, those CV carbs are a bitch to work on. When they work, they handle altitude changes and are stingy on gas. When they don't they'll take all your money. It's best to keep them of possible.

Got the new manifold last night. I put it on this morning and managed to get the bike to start after several tries.
It revved super high, then refused to start again. Time to read up and learn how to tune the mikuni!

I have been having issues with her boging and dying mid to WOT. I'm thinking the main jet is the problem. I'm at a 150 now, going to try to get my hands on a 140 hopefully that will fix things up.
