If I was closer to Oregon I would check it out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pont35cpe Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Dual carb set-up has been added, was only on `41&`42 years, looks to have 2 front carbs(carters)with parallel linkage, instead of the progressive linkage. Can`t see the exhaust.. Oil bath air cleaner is on backwards. You can`t buy a dual carb set-up with manifolds/air cleaner for $700. And may have been converted to 12V with that resistor on the coil.

Same here, even a little farther. Pricing looks like a delicate balance between market, work required, and how much siding you can buy for 700 bucks before winter. Wouldn't expect a scam.
