  1. that's what i was going to suggest too. This one
  2. How long has this person built models ? What are their interest, Aircraft, military, trains, automotive? What kind of cars, assuming the category selected? How much do you want to spend? How much time do you want to spend? How much effort do you want to put into this model? Do you have any model building tools? Paint? Glue? Hobby knives" etc. How much space do you have to build said model? How much space do you have to display the model? Are you really sure this is what you want to do?
  3. George Klass Remembers http://georgeklass.net/ Some great building ideas.
  4. and again from Tamiya ( remember, Google is your friend) : http://tamiya.com/english/products/24254z_st/index.htm

  6. Of course, sometimes one is all one needs.
  7. One must not forget : " If some is good, and more is better, then Too much should be just right."
  8. and you can lay 'em down with the right selection of carbs.
  9. Now yer talkin' one barrel fer each intake hole !
  10. You can see the carb flanges are located right over the intake ports.
  11. Like this ? Ol' John Milner ran one of these on his puke yellow coupe. They are more of a "direct port induction and would certainly require some "synchronization".
  12. I ran a three two barrel set up on a '60 El Camino 283 four speed for quite awhile. I liked it much better than several four barrel set ups i first had. One thing i recall was the common myth : " They're hard to synchronize." There is nothing to synchronize. It's just a matter of deciding when you want the outer two carbs to "Kick" in.
  13. All of these kits ( all being the same kit) ARE great. Lots of detail and lots of room for more detail. The only caveat,one of the reissues had the whole clear tree tinted dark.
  14. " and this is the 'honker' " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRLTqdn52AI
  15. and, "back in the day" plenty to chose from.
  16. on most engines a "progressive linkage" was used, allowing the center carb to be used around town. Mash the pedal and the other two kick in and away you go. Gas mileage and performance. This was probably the most common set up, allowing for ease of street operation.
  17. Originally (back in the day) it was simply a matter of limited air flow on the carburetors available. Thus the old Hot Rod Adage: " If some is good, and more is better, then Too much should be just right."
