4106 Carbs
Is it possible to make a Holley 4106 Vac. secondary carb, to a dual feed?
In a sense, removing the transfer tube?
I am building a dual quad, and I am thinking that the transfer tube, will not supply adequate fuel.
I went with these carbs, as I don't have to turn them sideway's. And I got a great deal too....I am just learning as I go.

i'm sure you could with some drilling and tapping... but i've never seen anyone do it... and most likely since the carb isn't setup for it, it'd prolly cause a lot of problems... wait for one of the carb wizards to reply thojust because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

4160 carbs?
I'm setting up 2 4160 (450 CFM) mech. sec. Holley's on a tube tunnel ram, feeding a 540 cu.in. Cadillac. I had the same fuel volume concerns as you. I scrounged up a pair of used float bowels, and as soon as I can find the time, I'm gonna drill and tap the transfer tube holes for 1/8 inch NPT, and run fuel hose and a "T" fitting for a second feed point to the carb, between the front and rear bowels. I think this will work, but I haven't measured the boss sizes yet. It might over power the floats or upset the metering, I just don't know enough about holley's to know, so I'm just gonna try it. Any of you Holley guru's want to jump in here?????? tks Paul
