Here's my 1965 Dodge Coronet 500,
with homemade everything.

The Poly 318 uses an Edlebrock p600 with standard
Stromberg in the middle; outboard carbs are from original
348 Chevrolet tri-power set up. All linkage is homemade.
The linkage between the Rochesters is from a motorcycle side
car brake setup, the progressive linkage to operate them has
a Mopar transmission kick down linkage that opens them
at about 1/2 throttle.
