| Ted, Thank you for taking the time (which must have been considerable due to the amount of manifolds tested and everything leading up to testing!) and posting this invaluable info on this site for those of us with limited skills/knowlege/equipment to find out which would be best for our applications when you don't know the difference between a Edmunds or an Edelbrock 573,except that they each have "3" carbs(LOL). Now about step#2-- would it be possible to compare the dual quad manifold to the single 4-barrel manifolds to be tested to see how it rates and see where it stands with the tri-power setups ratings??? This seems to be the only manifold left to test,and all would have been tested on the same engine for an accurate comparision! Thanks again! KID

Were the Red's Headers the single or dual tube type? The single tubes look restrictive, but the dual tubes don't look bad. If I remember correctly, Karol Miller went 142 with stock exhaust manifolds, and added 10 MPH with better exhaust. I don't know if he went from headers to the straight pipes through the front fender.

This particular setup is one I've had for awhile and will be sorted out on the dyno mule prior to any cylinder head testing just to check out the setup and see where the horsepower level is with that setup. I just recently rekitted the carbs and installed new secondary diaphragms so they should be good to go. After the 2X4 setup proves itself, it goes on my 272 in my ’55 Customline with the ’56 style oblong air cleaner.

They essentially bolt up to the stock lead pipes so they are also quite short.
