TBI on a single plane??

Has anyone run a TBI setup on top of a single-plane intake like an old Torker or Street Dominator?

I'm thinking the larger plenum volume would compliment the small throttle bodies to help the top-end performance out.

Yes. Many on here are doing so, including myself - Holley Street Dominator.

Yes, there are many who are doing it. I've had my Weiand Team-G on for sometime now. Works great. Besides just plenum volume, you know all the cyls to pull from both TB bores, which is also an upside.

That's what I was thinking... it would reduce the intensity of the vacuum pulse below the throttles and help feed a larger engine like a 355.

Buddy is pulling the TBI setup off an old 305 Caprice and putting it on a 355 in a '64 Rambler. I figured an adapter to mount the TBI on his Torker would work OK.
