Dual Carb Manifold on Hudson 8

[50C8DAN]

In getting the C8 back on the road I am trying to decide if I should use the stock carb/manifold setup or use my Edmunds dual carb manifold. It uses two WGDs. I am concerned at possibly over carbing the engine. Has anyone out there had any experience with this setup or know anyone that did?

Thanks

This was posted by Aaron D. in another thread because your original post showed up there:

Dan I don't think you'd over carb the 8 with 2 carbs in fact I think some pre-war racecar drivers had dual carbs on the inline 8. Bill Hill in HET has done it I think or will be but if you call him he'll talk your ear off.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering where my original thread went to? Where did Aaron find it?

I found it in the post: "Dream Hudson!".

the two carb 8 cyl manifold will not fit under the hood of a stepdown, carbs too high. OK if you want to cut a hole in the hood. that manifold was designed for the early 8 in pre stepdowns. will buy it for my 4` 8 if you want to sell it, BILL ALBRIGHT
