My B had this manifold with an HIF6 when I bought it. It seemed to work
OK but was a bit gutless. A single HIF6 has about 3/4 the inlet area of
dual HIF4s, if my math is even close.
I can't swear the low power was due to the carb, could have been timing or
compression (engine was nearing rebuild time). It started, idled, and ran
just fine... and less adjustment was needed.
