When Pat Ganahl was editor of "Rod and Custom" magazine, he described the
rebuild of a 235 for his early-50's Chevy sedan. He used two Holley-Webers on
it. If I recall, he said he had the jetting, etc done with the engine in a
dynamometer. Has anybody figured the correct carb settings on those? (Not too
many dynos around here).
