Wow! What a hack job! Cut up a D-Jet intake, slap on a 90deg bend pipe, and a single sidedraft carb.

It's the worst of all worlds. Note how the air/fuel mixture takes a 180deg bend, and also how a "dry" manifold is being used with fuel in it.

Whoever thought of this should be slapped!

Ohh, evil puddles of gas all over!
I can't imagine that manifold being as good as a pair of SU's! Off the top of me head:
1: it's drawing thru both chokes at once, so it'll be too much carb, per cylinder...
2: #2 and #3 get a better shot at the carb, and will probably run richer, while 1 and 4 have to flow thru the plenum, and get more air and less fuel.
3: airflow changes direction in the manifold, allowing gas to drop out of solution.
4: The FI manifold is a dry manifold, never designed to have fuel in it at all, so all bets are off, there...
5: it's huge!
6: I don't have it to test it!
