Got rid of the Kadron's ... Kadie Shack was great but never got them working. So had the 40's on a 2054 and they were to small for it. Got a pair of type 3 manifolds and a little trickery on Kadron linkage and now car is way better. Wanted to use the Berg manifolds but they wer to tall.2353235223511770old carbs fit good too
