why carby an injected six? The efficiency of the engine is compromised. The fuel injected system holds more advantages, why do you think modern cars don't have carby's?

Getting hassled by the EPA, maybe a huge fine and the slowest VN that exsists is about all you have to look forward to with this idea :)

there are a couple of aftermarket manifolds for that, such as the harrop one and the torque-power manifolds, but you'll have to then use the older distributor such as the mechanical HEI dizzy out of the blue/black 308's...

VN V6, nothing special
umm i dont know much about carbys and fuel injected but what ive been told injected is better because its mroe efficient and you get more power. so what is the purpose of a carby set up on a vn? i know on older cars id rather have carby because it looks more original but why on a vn? whats your gains? its just one of them things i dont get so i fought i would ask.:D:D

ok, best way would be to hack up a vn manifold, diy style.

you will still get spark, just have to run the ecu still i spose, unless the coilpack can be run seperate to the ecu.

weld up the injector holes, weld on a carby base plate, weld up any holes that arent needed, etc.


also, pre vn buick v6's manifolds wont fit, different port layouts and coolant passages
