I believe the Plymouth carb is made by Holley under license from Weber
(similar in design to the DGV I believe). Don't know what the
differences are though.
Actually, now that I think of it, you're right! The Holley, from my
memory, seems to have more vacuum hoses on it. However, the intake
for the Holley is two-tiered, with the exhaust under the intake on
the head. If I remember right, the Holley has a one-piece
manifold...Now I'm going to have to _try_ to fit a Holley onto the
Downdraft manifold...
