Those are absolutely beautiful. My wife is hosting an art show tomorrow night. May I borrow them to show? Looks like art to me. Excuse me for being to nosey and personal, but could you share about what the refurbishing set you back (round numbers).

I plan to use an Edelbrock 4-port fuel block (3 lines and a pressure gauge) towards the front of the manifold, with hard lines running to each carb. The carbs use the same flare fitting adaptor as a 97 does. I am running a vintage W&H Du-Point tach drive distributor that runs the T-Bird tach. (been on the car since late '56). Not sure what # power valve...but I trust Dick implicitly with my stuff. I can find out what P.V. and jet size he used. The front/rear carbs don't have idle circuits anymore.

davis (12/9/2009)
so what are you going to do with the 553?For now it resides (with a recently assembled trio of matching ECG-5 carbs  ) on a really clean '57 272 in my garage...I dream of building a 30-31 Model "A" roadster around it someday...

Maybe that's why he can work magic with carburetors.
