Too much of that and my rear-end might look like Chilibill's avatar!

Why, silly, that is an intake manifold mounted with eight Weber carburetors, everyone knows that! |

Chicks...you gotta tell 'em everything  That's a hot rod manifold for a car engine, Wren, with 8 carburators -- carbs, get it? -- which were the precursors to the terribly efficient and trouble-free fuel injectors that are in your current automobile. Tim |

Yeah, they look cool. I guess they were OK if you could afford to pay someone to keep 'em running.

Given that this is - generally speaking - a guitar forum, I feel free to question the count of carbs in that picture. I believe it is four - with dual intakes and mebee two barrels each. But I myself - as a mechanic I make a pretty fair guitar player.
Is there a hot rod mechanic in the house??

I once had a car with 3 2-bbl sidedraft Weber carbs with thoe pretty stainless steel mesh filter covers. So nice to look at.
Hey, once the mechanic had them fiddled down to perfection, they functioned perfectly & reliably.
