I fitted it with a GPU (0-290) and used a 0-320 sump and a MA3 carb but didn't work well and eventually friend traded me a sump the the carb would fit. I started a rebuild and modification about 10 years ago and am now about to hang a 0-320 that has a sump with the 'flared' riser. The opening in the sump is 2.4" across but the carb, a MS MA4SPA (10-5009) is only 2" but will fit. I would appreciate any imput as to the 'right' carb (part #) to use with the 'flared' riser. I have a O-320 sump with a straight riser but not sure the 10-5009 is for it I would appreciate any and all information.
