Check out Racing Beat. They sell the whole kit, intake and all. The carbs are setup properly to work on rotaries.

Don't use a regular Holley on the 12A, It'll run like crap. I've tried it with a 650, 600 and 450cfm and it just won't run right. Use an RB only, It will run graet right out of the box.

Aside from the oil injection modifications, what else does racing beat do to make these carbs "work on a rotary"??
