say ted, you know that 57 linc. carter carbs are bigger than the 56 merc. carters. witch ones did you test on the dual quad intakes? it would be interesting to see if they are as good as the linc. 1094's.

Wayne. It was the ’56 Merc Carter WCFB carbs that were tested. There were no ’57 Lincoln carbs available at the time of the tests but some of the mid-Fifties Carters from GM engines were tested and those did have larger venturies than the Merc carbs. The GM Carter carbs (WCFB’s) ran close to the same performance numbers as the Lincoln Teapots but those carbs also had the same carburetor base flange as the Teapots and ’56 Merc WCFB carbs. I’m guessing that the ’57 Lincoln Carter carb is the AFB version and not the earlier WCFB version?

hi ted, no they used 56 linc. manifolds on 57 linc. and turnpike cruisers. the only late holley intake for the linc. is the later big truck intake. it's easy to spot the linc. and merc. wcfb's, they have the secondary vacuum chamber on the side. I think that mid 50' Packard's used the biggest wcfb's. they had dual fours in 56 also.
