I'm lookin over options to keep John Lee Jr very driveable and very reliable. Fentons and dual Carter Webers are koolski but, prolly not a good low maintenance value on a stock rebuilt 230 - suspect the power derived from them on a stock motor won't be worth the high cost either so...

If I can do some light mods that reduce under hood time and gas drippin down onto the exhaust, I think I'd like to make it happen.

Anyone else? I looked at the carb gaskets for both models of carb and they are perzactly the same so, bolt on should see all the monojet vacuum passages working as they should on the 230 intake log.

About the only issue I see is cosmetic, and thats the carbon cannister port on top of the monojet...but it'll hide neatly under an air cleaner.
