[SEL] RE: V-12 jimmy carb question

[Andy Glines]

Bill, these engines were common in trucks.  Do some checking on the antique 
truck sites.  Since the V-12 is 2 V-6s put together you may need two of the 
carbs used on the V-6.  The American Truck Historical Society ATHS has a 
nice discussion board with some very knowledgeable folks.   Also ask on the 
ATCA (Antique truck club)  I would think that old 2barrel Rochecter carbs 
should be pretty common.
