Well, about a week ago I got my intake and carbs back from Dick York (dickshotrodplace.com)

He does some beautiful work! I had initially sent him my carb's only, then decided that I should upgrade to a 573 intake from the 553 that I had to better suit my 312, and the "G" heads...

To make a long story short, I finally found one and he set the whole sha-bang up with a new linkage...front/rear carbs have no idle circuits and are true "secondary" carbs, and most all driving will be done on the center carbs. These carbs are all 1 1/16" throat, and have been on the car (with the old 553) since late '56. I doubt they ever looked quite this nice though...

Thanks for looking. I highly recommend Dick's Hot Rod Place...Looking forward to putting it all back together with the old Hedman headers, and the "G" heads that Tim just finished up for me...w00t
