G'day.
This is something I have been contemplating for a while. Removing the stock dual carbs from my 1800 van, and fabricating an assembly to plop a dual throat of roughly the same flow on in the middle.
The main reason I've considered this is reliability. The carbies have always been a nightmare to me. Especially the central idle circuit.
No matter how many times they have been adjusted, cleaned etc, they just never work right...well for long anyway.
If I were to put on a single centralised carby would acceleration lag be noticable, because of the extra distance?
Also, would icing up be a problem?
I Know I'd love to retrofit EFI, but I'm clueless with post carburettor engines, and the dollarific value of EFI is a little rich for my poor old van.
Is fitting a single carb a completely stupid idea, or does it have any merit?

If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.
