In the pursuit of ultimate simplicity I have been contemplating the notion
of a gravity fed carbureted system for my Falconar project. A while back I
made up a 3 carb rig like Tracy’s original set up but that would still
require fuel pumps from my nose tank. I really would like to try for a
purely gravity fed system. Here are some pix of a couple of options using a
3x3 inch box manifold similar to what George Anderson used on his canard but
instead of a single top mounted Dodge 318 carb as he did I am proposing a
long intake runner dropping down to the bottom edge of the firewall to a
single Stromberg carb.
Opinions, comments, suggestions, jokes?
Any one see any obvious problems with such a set up?
Of principal concern is the intake runner feeding the manifold plenum box
from one end.
