Panel, you're right, my bad. I recently sold a '76 Ford stepper with a 300 inline six, and that was the one that had an Offy dual-plane. I have the Offy 5416 on my 292. I don't know why Offenhauser doesn't make a dual plane for GM. Maybe we should start a campaign..............
RichardJ, thanks for the numbers, it never occured to me to measure distances. In the stock configuration, and using a single bbl carb, the numbers would be scary!
I'm guessing that's why the guru's recommend a heated manifold thereby keeping the fuel mixture atomized while it's trying to decide which way it's going to go.
