Carter 3720sb flowed approximately 675 CFM each. Good luck. Jon
I fit into the category of being burned years ago, and simply not going back. Drill bits that would drill wood, barely drill aluminum, and dull...
I remember a truck 2G with a governor, that memory (sometimes wrong) says had a 1 7/16 venturi. I don't still have one to check, and of course...
