pflaming Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Which makes the most noise, a six bladed radiator fan or a poorly filtered carter single throat carburetor? Quote
Los_Control Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 how about a harmonica strapped to a carter? 4 Quote
Dave72dt Posted October 30, 2018 Report Posted October 30, 2018 At an idle, with the air cleaner off, probably the carb. As rpm increases, switches over to the fan, JMO Used to be a fairly commo practice to flip the lids on the air cleaner ( paper filters ) to get the sound of massive amounts of air rushing into the carb, especially when the 4 bbl opened. Maybe added a couple of horsepower. Who knows, had to be better than trying to dray all the air through those little snorkels that were on all the factory air cleaners. 1 Quote
