While you went the right direction, 3-circuit carbs were not designed nor do they work well with transbrakes either unless you lean the 3rd circuit way out and fix the t-slots. 3-circuit Dominators were designed for IR manifold apps and also help with 4 and 6 cylinder apps where there is a lot of manifold pulsing. Here is some good reading material if anyone is interested.
