    just scored a Tattersfield dual carb intake for my car...im running a stock 235...do you think it will flood out if i run two one barrel carbs?

    You should be fine with it not flooding out and being too rich. One thing is how cold does it get where you live? Since the exhaust mani is not connected it hurts atomizing the fuel so it will puddle, during cold temps. If youre gonna beef it up later might as well wait. What do you plan on doing to the old 235?
