Just kicking around the idea of dual Pinto (4-cyl) staged 2 bbl carbs on my 200. I think they're Autolite 5200 carbs.
Has anyone ever tried this?
If so, how'd they run?
Would the engine need to be cammed to take advantage of 'em or would they work on a basically Stock engine w/ a (non-header) low-restriction exhaust?
If you use two from a '72 2300 CC (122 C.I.) 4 cyl, then would two of 'em be good on a 200 or 250?
They'd probably have to be tuned and modified, but the two small primaries might equal out to roughly the same CFM as a Stock 200 1 bbl (about 185-195 CFM, depending on the carb).
If so, then there'd be no "over-carbureted stumble" on Tip-In,
and the staged secondaries could up the CFM nicely when they kick in.
Guess it would depend on the actual CFM of the Autolite 5200 carb.
Anyone have that info?
Thanks!
