You said, Enderle, I have a Hilborn.  Don't know if they are comparable. The Hilborn has 4   2.990 throttle plates. Figures to about 28 sq in, about the same as what you had if this is for the Buick.

Life is an abrasive. Whether you get ground away or polished to a shine depends on what you are made of.

This is going off of my memory, but I know the Bug Catcher is a little bigger than a Four port hilborn. As I recall the Bug is 32 square inch of opening.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.
