I am planning on buying a stock motor with a new case and installing 009, extractor w/single QP and dual Kadrons. Now, Berg is telling me that dual carbs means dual springs. He quotes some stats about valve train failure and such. He also warns that most builders do not correctly install and shim dual springs, which can cause a whole other set of problems. My question is this: do I order my engine with dual springs or go without? He doesn't say how often others screw this up. It would seem from his writing that stock single springs would give me more trouble than risking having someone screw up installing dual springs. Opinions? Oh, this would be a stock 1600DP going into a '71 bus. Thanks, Jim -- James A.
