The stock Solex dual carbs are EXCELLENT! Any such single carb
conversion would be a disappointing step down. The aftermarket
single carb setup is for those who wish to convert from FI and it
has a large number of drawbacks: It does not come well jetted to
match your engine, it may not have any kind of choke, and it
requires that you cut a hole in your engine cover plate to allow the
carb to stick up. The ones that I have seen do not use the Holley
Bug Spray, but I suppose that it might be possible to do so.
You have to use the FI air runners to connect to the center
manifold.
I have one of these carbs & manifolds. It came with a pile of used
parts I bought years ago and I have never been even tempted to
use it. If someone REALLY wants it I would be happy to sell it
cheap, but no warrantee and no promises. ;-)
