I was just looking at one from aeroquip. The one I was looking at appear to be able to handle low pressure carburetor and high pressure fuel injection up to 65 pounds. Pretty slick and versatile piece.

Here's one I'm putting together. It's not a car ('50 chevy truck), and won't be fast but hopefully unique. It's just a 5.3L with a Victor Jr., Demon 650, Hooker LS1 headers backed up with an NP833 O/D 4-speed. It will have finned valve covers and relocated coil packs and I hope to hide the MSD 6010 in the cab. For now it's on the stock cam, which will be swapped out for something fairly mild in the future. I want people to scratch their heads when they see this, the engine bay will be empty and clean too, few wires, relocated brakes. Of course, LS folks will know what it is but the avg. Joe might wonder a bit.

I dont see what the big deal is about making a carb section....Hell, They will make a Gen 5 Camaro only Classifieds, but no carb section. Make them suffer through the jacked up regular classifieds like the rest of us. *rant off*
