Hi Paul,  While Jack was correct in stating that the lines are based off of a

1/16", this is a good ballpark as the -4 is a hair under 1/4",  -6 a hair

under 3/8",  -8 a hair under 1/2" etc.(I figured to get decent flow to the

carb I used the -8 line). I measured the lines one day-I guess this is what

you do when you're bored and have a Summer job at a speed shop!! While the

terms "hair" and "scoche" would'nt cut it with our resident techie Cap'n

Mike,  I'll bet ya TWO braces(bracii??) of webers that it gets you in the

ballpark..  : )

Oh yea,  regarding webers and a stand off condition;  I think you can

drill and tap a small hole on each runner and connect it to a common line so

the manifold "sees" a common signal. I think this would work, any ideas?-
