Yes this was specifically for Group C where carby's were free, but you had to use the std inlet manifold, so fabricated manifolds that bolted to the original were made to use a variety of carby's.

Barry Jones ran a twin 48ida setup that used only one barrel of each carby to get them as close over the original manifold runners.
