. . . welcome to the site, Steve, from a fellow "Nam Era" vet . . . Navy.

Though not the dual Weber "side-drafts" to which you're most likely referring above, I am running what is likely the world's only dual Weber 40DFO down-drafts "sprint" setup, originally from a late '60s Rekord sprint, in my '69 Kadett LS "sprint" right now, for what it's worth . . .
