I just got back from the Detroit Autorama and swwn a model a  with a Y block that looks to have a mechanical fuel injection system,it looks similar to the marine carbs but had no identification. I tried to post a piicture of it but it would not load up.

Butchering up everything I can get my hands on in Dayton Ohio

Was the car a pink 56? called Cotton Candy?

I missed the basement while I was there. I did see the "cotton candy" one though. A few y-blocks there, so it was a good show. Met Gene Winfield while I was there by his gold (32 I think) pick-up. Nice guy.

There was a 32 with a Y block that had a blower that was electric and powered by a starter motor and I got pics,the basement had the not so shiney cars and the tuners.

Fifth row down on the extreme right. That Flat roof, primered T sedan Is owned by a nice young fellow I met in Dearborn last year. It's a 368 Lincoln with "the right stuff". Engine assistance was provided by Royce! He hopes to get to Columbus this year. The car is a real original hot rod owned by his father ar one time. Great car with a great history and  Y powered. Wow!

He is also the owner of the Larsen roadster. A classic piece of 50's - 60's hot rod! A really great survivor! Check it out at this link: http://jalopnik.com/366500/the-larson-engineering-special

The black A fenderless p/u 7 down all the way on the left side is the one with the mysterious mechanical fuel injection.

Hard to tell in the picture but it looks like a boat intake with 2 carbs. It's such a weird looking combination that anyone that hasn't seen one would be taken aback! Picture below is only running one carb. Chuck in NH
